Cotswolds pubs in watercolour. Do you have a favourite place in the Cotswolds? #watercolour

Watercolour of the mathematical bridge in Cambridge. All straight timbers but looks curved. The timbers are all in compression or tension but not bent the way timber is strongest. Some things are designed so well the could be from nature #watercolour

Temple of the Four Winds at Castle Howard. Really beautiful Palladian structure. A folly used just for luncheons. It has a kitchen underneath! #watercolour

The Duke on the Green. Parsons Green was once a rectors bowling green with a pub on this site called Ponds End Tavern by 1657. This beauty strikes a handsome Victorian facade and was tiled by Fulham pottery. #watercolour

St John’s College,founded in 1511 by Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII on the site of an old hospital. Literally thousands are buried under it. Apparently ghostly screams became so annoying in the Gibbs building it is no longer used for students (allegedly) 😂

We really don’t have enough clocks on buildings. Totally unnecessary but cool as! #watercolour

Westminster Bridge is green the same colour as the seats in the palace of Westminster. Cool huh! #watercolour #london

London’s smallest square Pickering Place can be found tucked behind Berry Bros. In 1824 it was home to the Texas Legislature (embassy) making this Texan soil for a short while. Texas was at the time independent but soon joined the Union. #watercolour

The Louvre. The world’s largest museum with over 400,000 things in it …it would take someone 100 days to see everything. #watercolour

I love house portraits. You get to capture someplace that’s so special for someone

Lincoln Cathedral. The world’s tallest building for 300 years until its spire fell over in 1548. Still looks gorgeous. #watercolour

Lina stores. The original one in Soho London. Named after the owners wife. #watercolour

Luxembourg Palace is in Paris. Luxembourg is bordered by three countries: Belgium to the west and north, Germany to the east, and France to the south. The Palace is Italian in style and contains Flemish art collection. It was also occupied by Germany. Soooo international! #watercolour

Skinners hall in watercolour . The City of London has 12 livery companies which are quitepowerful and very old. This one has been here for 700 years #watercolour

The Savoy in watercolour. The only road in Britian where you drive on the right! It’s so taxis can drop off passengers easier apparently. #watercolour #watercolor

Watch this appear. This was the tallest building in the world for 500 years. Can you guess this building? #watercolour #watercolor

Before and after. Do you prefer pen drawing or watercolour?

And another canopy. Love red stripes, it says Xmas and festivals to me! #watercolour

There is something about brightly coloured canopies!

Cliveden House. built in 1666 by the 2nd Duke of Buckingham as a lavish gift to his mistress, the Countess of Shrewsbury. This sparked a deadly duel between the Duke and the Countess’s husband, the Earl of Shrewsbury, who died from wounds sustained in the fight! Property can be deadly #watercolour

Drawings of dream London homes. #watercolour #london

Florence Cathedral in watercolour. Did you know the coloured facade is relatively new. They remodelled and gave it a facelift a couple of hundred years ago (that’s new in Cathedral years!) #watercolour #watercolor

Two more sketches of New York and Dubai. Different places but everything looks similar in pen and ink #pen #ink #sketches

Some views of Edinburgh next! #pen #sketch

Anyone missing summer yet? #watercolour

Missing Edinburgh in Autumn (as it’s too cold in winter😂) #watercolour

The San Remo Building in watercolour. The Actor Steve Martin married his wife and knocked the two adjacent apartments together. When they got devoured he separated them again. #watercolour #newyork

The Civic Hall in London in watercolour. It sits on the Colosseum of London. I have been told the Mayor of the City of London’s office is in the position of the Roman ambassador’s box where he decided if gladiators lived and died. #watercolour

Watercolour Autumn in New York. You know there is a secret room underneath the Bow Bridge in Central Park? #watercolour

A house in Cambridge. It was actually home to John Stanley Gardiner, Professor of Zoology, and his wife Edith Gertrude Gardiner, a biochemist. Personalities in Cambridge and raised chickens here. It’s now part of Wolfson College. #watercolour

The cast iron facade of the Haughwout Building in New York. It had the first elevator ever invented which travelled really slowly and was hydraulically powered. It actually used to flood- new fear unlocked! 😂 #watercolour

Watercolour of how modern architecture and nature can blend so well. St. Catherine’s is quite new only 60 years old. Infact the first student were know “Dirty Thirty” due to the lack of running hot water, a quirk of its modernist architecture at the time.

St Hilda’s College, Oxford in watercolour. A ladies College they have some lovely old rules, such as restrictions on playing the harpsichord after 10 pm or placing teapots on the lawn! #watercolour

Watercolour of the Flatiron building New York. The original elevators were water-powered hydraulic lifts, which were extremely slow and even could flood! #watercolour

A few buildings in the Cotswolds watercoloured. Melt in mouth buttery stone. Yum! #watercolour

Petworth House. It’s so bloody long and like a Russian doll has the older structures behind it! #watercolour

The Rosewood Hotel. One of London’s best with this lovely courtyard. I painted some of it using a syringe which is novel. Learn this technique here www.patreon.com/posts/141701...

Carlton Hill in Edinburgh. The Athens of the North. I don’t know if that’s something I heard or just made up now but it seems bang on! #watercolour

New College in Oxford. Only Oxford could name a college ‘new’ when it was founded in 1350. Haunted by Reverend William Archibald Spooner, famous for “Spoonerisms.” More funny than terrifying 😂 #watercolour #oxford

Somewhere in Northern Europe….

Views from Shad Thames. Love this spot, so many tourists it makes you feel like you are the one on holiday. Shad Thames apparently named after a fish. Never seen a Shad before hope never do do so. #watercolour #watercolor #london

Whitehall. Britians beating civic heart. War and taxes are all organised from here. A whole street of it with more statues than you can shake a stick at. Makes for quite a wonderful walk on a Sunday. #watercolour

Streets of Hampstead. Apparently Ryan Gosling has just moved there. Can’t blame him, it’s beautiful place especially in autumn. #watercolour

Durham cathedral watercolour with a warning about Scots!

Watercolour of Liberty in early evening. The building is made from the timbers of an old war ship. The frontage of the store is the same length as the HMS Hindustan, and the wooden floorboards under your feet are the old ship decks. #watercolour #london

A walk around Paris with a brush….. tell me what to paint next! #watercolour

Watercolour of the Eagle and Child. It is best known as the meeting place for the Inklings, a group that included famed authors J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. It's a place where many famous works were discussed. Apparently some of the books on the wall have secret messages in them. #watercolour #art

Castle Howard’s vast estate was created by demolishing the original village of Henderskelfe to clear the landscape for ornamental gardens, lakes, fountains, and statues! Oh and it has peacocks. #watercolour

Watercolour of Carfax Tower in Oxford. Apparently the name “Carfax” derives from the Latin “quadrifurcus” and French “carrefour,” meaning “crossroads,” So now you know! #watercolour #London

This door in Oxford is apparently the inspiration for the Lion, the witch and the Wardrobe. The doirway to Narnia. Complete with Fauns and a Luons head. CS Lewis studied next door. Looks great in watercolour. #watercolour #oxford
