05 · Sketchbook
Drawn by hand.
Away from the CAD screen, Steve sketches the places that give Oxfordshire its character: village pubs, old buildings and historic landmarks. Every one drawn freehand.
Fancy one of your own?
Steve takes commissions for hand-drawn sketches of homes, pubs and favourite buildings. Lovely as a gift or a keepsake.
