Although Chris Gollon was a consummate draughtsman, he did very few drawings since he literally lived to paint. He preferred to go straight to canvas to make his imagery. If he completed an image in a fully worked up drawing, he would then lose interest in painting it.
However, occasionally, for example when there was heavy snowfall in the winter of 2010- 2011 and he was unable to get to his studio, he would use Indian ink or charcoal to draw, often making drawings from some of his own paintings. The two brief periods in his career when he produced several series of drawings, were the aforementioned winter, and the summer of 2016.
