This is the page I used to get me going on actually doing detail drawings of the house. That was after I had done the quick inks of the place at some distance when I first drove up. The idea of doing several quick sketches first is a very good idea and one I could use on a more regular basis. Usually I just dive into a complicated drawing with too much urgency and angst, and not enough observation.
So here we have a detail of the chimney behind the apex of the roof. We also have a detail of the old tie rod used to hold the building together, and its relationship to the window nearby with the stone between. You see these tie rod in many vintage stone structures around the country. Some are seen in the old Lawrence Bible Chapel building at 10th & Kentucky.
Next is a sketch done from the parking lot of a house across the street from the Murphy- Bromelsick place, which was still one that got me in the frame of mind to look, to pay attention.
