The entrance to a gorgeous, one of a kind building on Garfield Place, with it's grand curved bay window, the steps cascading around the curved bay. The column capitals between each window have carved faces (that detail will have to wait for another sketch)
Living in Park Slope, I enjoy sketching the landmarks in the neighborhood.
By sketching, I hope to implant some of the wisdom of these landmarks into my mind. They have so much to say.
I sketch freehand, on location. I use a black pen on a 9 x 12 sketch pad. I don't use pencil. There is no tracing-over or retouching. I may exclude cars parked on the street and other items if they don't add to the architecture.
I hope visitors enjoy this site. It is much more satisfying to sketch when you can share them with others.
