Dreary Drawing no 7 - The unmanned petrol station — #dreary #drawing #sketch #unmanned #sketchbook #usk #urbansketch #urbansketchers #watercolour #fineliner #farmstead #hundvåg #petrolstation #circlek #statoil #oil #petrol I have set myself a November challenge - Its about sketching dreary places (and I don’t mean exciting derelict spaces - but rather ordinary, dull, insignificant places). Places so lacking in interest as to cause mental weariness... You might ask: Why? Why sketch contemporary grimness? I will try to do it because ugliness is a big part of our shared surrounding - and so if my sketches are going to have any affinity with my life, dreariness has to become a part of it.
