Architecture SketchingSketching Sydney

After Monday’s article, I decided to track down the other recent ‘details’ page that I mentioned. I realised that I never shared it here on the blog and think that it’s worthy of its own post. These super neat sketches of mine (a bit out of character hey?) were done for a 3-day workshop I...

Sketching Sydney

On Friday I went back into the City for another sketching outing. I wanted to revisit James Barnet’s Police Station while I still had sunlight on the facade and I wanted to do a little investigation for another project which I have coming up in August. As a result of my exploration of the area...

Architecture SketchingSketching Sydney

On Friday I went into town in order to sketch a few James Barnet buildings. Since coming home I’ve started reading two books all about his work. The more I research, the more I’m realising his significance and the more I’m becoming a fan! His most important building is the Sydney General Post Office (GPO)...

I thought it would be fun to put together, in one blogpost, all the JimmyB (James Barnet) sketches that I did during my 6-week trip. Searching out and sketching the JimmyBs in every town I visited became a big theme of my trip. But this was something that developed en route. It actually all started...
