Newhaven Harbour, Eric Ravilious, 1935. It depicts the harbour lighthouse in this famous East #Sussex port, much beloved by Ravilious. The original artwork is in a private collection.
Interesting to compare the different platforms im on and how supportive they are.

I’ve been trying out some new Derwent charcoal pencils. Dark, and white.
Scraping powder from the pencils with a blade, and applying with a dry soft bristle brush.
A bit messy, and new for me, but rather satisfying.
Whilst in Prague for a Horizons show this evening, I was allowed to wander around the magnificent Klementinum Library. There are books in here with hand written notes by Tycho Brahe! I can’t think of a more stunning example of the romance of knowledge.
