Blarney Stone Castle

Rough Sketch of the Blarney Stone Castle

Beginning to add color.

Completed!

For my Viscom II class Sister Henderson brought in some models of the Blarney Stone Castle and the Vatican in Rome for us to draw from a perspective of our choosing and then, using colored pencils, color in the drawing as it is seen from that perspective. It was really interesting to dissect the colors that go into the drawing, for instance the color for the tower was conceived by using yellow, light blue, black and then white. It was difficult to outline a portion of the drawing by using different shades rather than using a black line to distinguish between trees/towers/walls. I gave the building (waxy) a different texture than I gave the vegetation (grainy) and I preferred coloring the vegetation more.
