Seaton Delaval 3

Running out of time as usual. This is an extremely loose note- sketch
of the hall. Disregarding all the laws of perspective. I really
explore what I am looking at with the pen in my hand - in a similar
way to a blind contour drawing.
The building is in a bad way - had a bad fire through it but as I was
trying to explore the structure of the building was happy with it as a
shell.

This page is really all about me exploring the details of the building
and trying to record what I discovered in very loose sketch form. If
you can't guess- I was having a ball!!!

Seaton Delaval

I am now in England and for the next week am doing a tour of some
great houses of different periods.
Last year one of the highlights of my trip was my visit to Castle
Howard since I am a real fan of the architects hawksmoor and Vanbrugh.
Yesterday I was very excited to visit a Vanbrugh building which has
only recently been opened to the public. A very unusual building!
This was my first sketch to get a feel for the place.....

Abbey cottage tearoom sketch

Ok. Here is my sketch and comments about the experience.

Scottish tearoom with a view

Final spot in scotland is a award winning tearoom in new abbey south
of dumfries. A nice surprise was this view!!! Of course I drew my tea
as well but I won't bore you with that sketch.
