Archive Sketches of Castle Howard

A blast from the past – these are sketches that I did AFTER my return from my first trip to Castle Howard in 2000.
Back then I would never believe that I would be able to sketch and paint on location.

These drawings took me quite a while and were completed after I had done some research on the buildings – the notes summarise my readings.

Even freehand, your buildings come out so well. Part of the architect training I guess. Nice to see buildings you had done before you started sketching on a daily basis.

These are beautiful sketches, so full of detail and somehow they even have personality. Very very nice!
