Machinery Up Close


The once clanging, booming foundry was silent as sketchers concentrated on capturing the relics of the building's industrial past in their sketchbooks.  I focused on the interesting shadows of the machinery.
I used diluted grey ink in a water brush, with a little red watercolor for the signage.
Afterwards, our soft voices discussed the various sketches in the cavernous building.  I think the huge space and massive machinery made us feel small yet not intimidated.  It was a peaceful, fun time with friends.

another look at sketching the old foundry

The place was an awesome, wonderful space. So many views of things to sketch it was hard to choose. However that big piece of punch press machinery was very hard to resist.
