In the end, after messing about with watercolour over the failed stencil, I decided to have a bash at drawing Stonehenge over the top of it all. I confess that I did use the underlying stencil to guide me with heights and things in the places where it had worked best, but there’s a lot more detail in the drawing, and a few of the stones on the right had essentially been completely wiped out due to the paper coming apart when I removed the stencil. I think it’s a measure of how my confidence in my drawing has grown that I didn’t even think of drawing in pencil – I went straight in there with the pen. Woohoo!
