"..Four grey walls and four grey towers.."

Verse 2 of "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)

"Willows whiten, aspens quiver,

Little breezes dusk and shiver

Through the wave that runs for ever

By the island in the river

Flowing down to Camelot.
Four grey walls, and four grey towers,

Overlook a space of flowers,

And the silent isle imbowers

The Lady of Shalott"

This lady is looking towards the towered building ...
I love using my water soluble pencils to add shaded areas.
This time I used water colours and guache for the layering...
while building the hair up with brown and yellow pencils.
This is how the 2 pages work together. Haven't decided what else to add yet, definitely goind to build a border :D
Think I'm going to post the rest as double spreads(with a few in progress shots of each image)

Enjoy :D XXX
