" Investigate the details of Sutton House and make them BIG on this day of drawing and mark-making."Participants made studies of a feature and then transferred it to large sheets of paper using charcoal - and working on such a big scale was new for some, such as Mike.

The sketch is done in Pen and sepia ink and coloured pencil and was drawn in my Daler Rowney sketchbook and is approx 11.5" x 8".
About Sutton House: The house is the oldest domestic house in the East End, having been built for a Tudor courtier in 1535. It's now a National Trust property and is an active cultural and social centre for community-related events. A three year programme to restore and rehabilitate the house began in 1990 and cost £2.1 million.
