Further work in perspective
A painting of the orangery by Jane, using a photograph, but informed by her afternoon tackling the subject on location:
Gloucestershire perspectives
Draw a building a day and your perspective problems will soon reach vanishing point!
And you can do it in the comfort of your home. With this sort of exercise there’s no shame in taking photos to draw from. Here’s David setting an excellent example:
David: Today we visited Tetbury in the downpour. Here’s the Market House, I found myself really fighting the urge to moderate the angles of convergence but overcame that urge to show how steep they really were. God loves a trier, and I’m certainly trying!
Allerton Towers: by the Orangery
David and Jane chose to tackle this charismatic but challenging subject. A great deal of careful constructive work would be necessary to get this right.
And as if that were not enough of a challenge, it wasn’t long before a family of picnickers arrived and took up residence like actors on a stage set.
