Hannah’s
Time for a quick postcard-sized sketch of Hannah’s, a charity shop in Newton Abbot. It’s a place I regularly give items to and buy vinyl records from. Founded in 1767, it is one of the oldest charities in the UK. They provide care and support for adults with profound disabilities and complex medical needs. I’m always delighted to support them.
Part of my Postcards from Newton Abbot series of postcard-sized ink and watercolour sketches.
Ink: Platinum brun sepia pigmented ink
