A walk alongside the Test river on Sunday influenced these three small drawings, also a need to explore marks and tone as themselves, unlinked to a place or a building. Playing with layers, floating, depth, lights and darks.

St Petersburg
Two more, again, from a small sketchbook, on the spot. Shapes. Functional, industrial, fit for purpose but very mysterious.

St Petersburg
The Kazzam Cathedral. Wonderful inside and out. Modelled on the Vatican. A forest of stone columns.
St Petersburg
A building that intrigued me increasingly, just beside the Church Over the Spilled Blood. Not sure what its function was, market place, stables? I walked around it and drew it from all angles. A bigger, more considered drawing may emerge.
St Petersburg
Two drawings done early in the morning, people were rushing past me on their way to work. The Church Over the Spilled Blood.
Drawings from St Petersburg
All these drawings were done on the spot and are in a small red sketchbook. This was drawn when I was waiting for a boat ride to begin. Looking up into some trees, the light shining behind them.
