At a meeting of artists in Oak Bay this week,
Pat Hindmarch-Watson demonstrated the fine old art of brass rubbing and invited several of us to try our hand - this is my rubbing. Pat kept a friendly and helpful eye over my attempt and I'm delighted by the result. Thanks Pat. We used a special black paper imported from England and rubbed over a genuine brass using a wax crayon made with brass powder it seems. What fun. Isn't art wonderful? So different from working with a brush - here's my 6 x 8 oil sketch completed the same day entitled "The Fire Hydrant."
