There Are Many Times,

when I wish I had a talent,

 especially when I see work like this,

 they are the drawings of British artist Olivia Kemp, who creates sprawling, large-scale ink drawings of real world landscapes that are built from photography, observational sketches, and her own memories of the visited destinations,

her two most recent works took a combined nine months to complete, 

 and are pulled from her travels to Malta and Bavaria,

 Kemp’s drawing “Ascending The High Pass” is inspired by Bavaria’s castles, and is composed of towers, cliffs, and a winding train line that connects the city through a series of bridges and tunnels,

 she will often create smaller drawing studies while on location, which she will then incorporate into her larger works, 

 both “Ascending The High Pass” and “Melita, Maleth” will be included in the group exhibition Early Modern Matters which opens on September 6 at James Freeman Gallery in London and closes September 29, 2018,

 You can see more of the artist’s work on Instagram and Twitter,

if I only had one artistic talent, this would be it, the ability to draw such wonderful drawings.
