St John's Church, Aberdare

St John's Church, Aberdare with pen and ink church superimposed on acrylic background with more pen and ink. Attempt to follow stamp designs which were probably originally printed so compromises have to be made. Need to try with other than black ink for pen and ink part to link in with surrounding colours. Will try again with more time spent on drawing.
