This one needs to be a big painting. It will be. Although a busy studio schedule means it will take some time to pull together. In the meantime I thought I’d share the line work from my ‘Oxford Rooftops’ scene. This Oxford Rooftops colouring page is free to print out and fill with your own colours.

I’m always drawn to a bird’s eye view of a city and this year has already seen me busy with a monster Winchester canvas. But this Oxford composition has been in my head since reading Philip Pullman’s ‘His Dark Materials’ and ‘The Book of Dust’. It would be very tempting to hide a Lyra inspired figure climbing around the spires!

This Oxford Rooftops colouring page will also be included on the back of the packing note that will go out with this month’s online orders. I’d love to see what colours you might find here… but if you’d prefer you can check back soon to see how my artwork turns out! Follow along here on the studio blogfacebooktwitter or instagram. You can find more location inspired creative activity pages like this Tour de France colouring sheet over on the ‘Activities & Competitions’ section of the blog.
