Sketch for a concertina book

Computer problems have left me attempting to add this post on my iPad mini - not ideal! 

My daughter and I were given the opportunity to spend a few days in Devon a couple of weeks ago. We took all our food supplies with us - we didn’t want to break our routine of isolating as much as possible. The weather was good, excellent walking, no tv or internet so our evenings were spent reading or playing Scrabble or card games. I decided to do a panoramic sketch of the long, narrow garden and since returning home have redrawn this on a 30” x 7”  length of watercolour paper which should result in a finished concertina book of approximately 4” x 7”.



This is an enlarged scan of my original sketches which I have taped together. Because my drawing was done in different stages as I moved along the garden there are some odd perspectives - some I have adjusted slightly, others I have not. Coloured pencil has been added as a guide for the final painted version.
