Caldbeck - Riverside Cottages

For my next lino I want to do the riverside cottages in Caldbeck - I took enough photos, but inevitably the only answer for planning the linocut is going to be to stand in the road and sketch! This way I can get the proportions of the cottages correct from a front on view - then it'll be tricky deciding what angle to put the bridge at and where to include bushes and trees and which to leave in/out to create an overall impression. Annoyingly it's going to rain tomorrow - 97% chance according to the BBC website - so maybe outdoor sketching isn't such a good idea! Time to find something else to do tomorrow!
