Information and materials
I used coloured pencils because they have the colour written on them and, as I'm colour blind, I chose colour by name rather than place on the spectrum.
The drawing shows an incident from my childhood. I spent the first seven years of my life in a flat a few hundred yards from Liverpool docks but the area was so built up & bustling I had no idea that the river was there until one day I saw an extraordinary sight - the red funnels of a liner steaming along between the rooftops. Even then I didn't think "river" - I just imagined a mad street in the next parish where liners rattled over the cobbles instead of milk floats. I think that was the first time I tried to visualise another, unknown place.
