Great!
Wonderful!!!
This is fabulous! I’ve lived all my life here in the Portland area, but I’ve never visited the Pittock mansion. I need to do that some day.
It is worth a visit.
I love this! I think piano music. 💖
Beautiful!
Beautiful painting.
Excellent.
Wonderful. I am scared of buildings! LOL
Retired architect! Break themdown into their square shapes using a water-soluble pencil — that may help!
Thanks Kate. I’ll try that. It’s those non square shapes I have trouble with mainly. The perspective angles.
If you can get to a bookstore that has lots of architectural or art books, look through Frank Ching’s books. Mine are packed or I’d suggest a good book — he is the most amazing teacher, and has clear sketches on how to do perspective in one of his drawing books.
This is great, thank you so much! Maybe my daughter in law and I can share it. She has an architecture degree but says she can’t draw buildings either. She’s an oil painter. I’m going to be in Pasadena in a week or so and Vroman’s bookstore there is one of the best, outside of Powell’s in Portland! Thanks again.
