More Pressure

'More Pressure'

graphite on Bristol Board

200 x 150 mm

I started on this as my back pain was to bad for painting. This drawing has taken me almost three weeks to finish. I use this technique as I love the tonal values that develop giving a very fae atmosphere. I have been watching the training at the Eynsham Fire Station. The standing fireman (aka Carl?) is signaling for more water pressure .
