Drawings of The Cape by David Coppinger

Drawings and paintings, in ink and watercolour of old buildings and street scenes in Cape Town and surrounds. This site is an online Sketchbook. Some of the paintings are for sale, while others are there to be looked at and enjoyed. Please e-mail me if you are interested in buying a painting, or perhaps commissioning a drawing.

The drawings below show mostly paintings of "Cape Dutch" buildings.
At the time that I did them, there was a decided bias against this type of painting and subject matter.
Which was a real pity, as the architecture is magnificent and this technique captured the essence of it.
My copy of De Bosdari and an old Triumph motorcycle, enabled me to visit many the hidden treaures of the Cape. These are some of the more accessible examples!
