David Sandum Caricature

So I have been working on this in what little spare time I have. A Caricature of Norwegian Artist David Sandum. I painted this in Photoshop using Pen and Tablet, default brushes and the Sargent Brush for the background.

Hawkstone Park/Follies

It is said that the real King Arthur rallied his soldiers here and a cup which was thought to be The Holy Grail was found, it was later discovered it was only a Roman Wine  Goblet.

Hawkstone Park/Follies

Another from the follies. More to come soon.

Hawkstone Park/Follies

First of a series of Pen and Ink/Watercolour illustrations from Hawkstone Park/Follies in Shropshire. The area is full of Arthurian Mythology.
I painted this before in my sketchbook, but this is a more detailed and accurate colored version of the overhang, although when scanned some of the more subtle washes were bleached out.

The market was packed out and I was starting to get fed up waiting in the queue.

Just what was in that bag?

As this study developed I started to work a narrative into it. You draw your own conclusions about what is happening here.
