A WIP of an imaginary Cornish fishing village called Perscombe. There are a scatter of highly buildings, and a house further back on the hill. There are steep cliffs towering over the buildings. A street branches in the foreground, with a bridge over a gully, where a small river leads to the sea, which is behind the viewer, who has a birds eye view of the village.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate. I've been a bit quiet lately, but it's because I'm working on a bigger project with my #SnakeAndDagger characters. Here's where #NathanielTheScribe lives. A made up place called Perscombe #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt

A simple pencil drawing. A woman stands naked in front of a man dressed in Georgian/Regency clothing. We see her only from the back. Her back shows long scars made by a riding crop. The man in front of her is visibly upset, and reaches his hand out towards her.

More #SnakeAndDagger. Nathaniel sees the extent of Cecilia's brutal treatment by her husband. 'If he were not dead, I would kill him myself, but he could never make you less beautiful.' #NSFW #nudity #scars #NathanielTheScribe #TheMerryWidow #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt

A rough drawing of a bruised and beaten man sitting on a chair naked, with a towel over his groin area. A pretty woman sits on the floor next to him weeping. Her hand is on his thigh and he holds it at the wrist, consoling her. There is a bowl of water, flannel and towel, as she has been washing him.

A simple play-drawing tonight of my character Cecilia washing #NathanielTheScribe after he got beaten defending her. They await help to get him to bed so the Dr can examine him. More to get the idea down than anything #SnakeAndDagger #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt

2/3 How her husband died is unclear. #NathanielTheScribe was a lord's dastardly son, brought up in the household. On his father's death, his half brother banished him, giving g him a pittance to live on, and forcing him to give up on his wish to be a painter.

A pencil drawing of a man in a Regency style office-type room. He is handsome with silver-white hair and beard/mustache. Behind himare a large sturdy table with an unfinished document, ink well and dipping pen. The room also shows a wooden chair, a low set of drawers with books and ledgers on top, another shelf with scrolls on, a map on the wall and a curved bay window, with many small panes of glass.

I finished my drawing of #NathanielTheScribe one of my #SnakeAndDagger characters #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt
