The drawing above was my first drawing. It is of the side of Monticello. I didn't have a lot of time to continue but I think it came out decent for what I have.
This one is of an arch inside Monticello. In the tour, it's the room after the study room used by Jefferson's daughter.
These are attempts at drawing objects in Monticello. The top left is a mirror in his office/bedroom area. Top right are attempts at the circles above the bed that allows fresh air into the storage area full of clothes for the season.
This was after the tour. The group was congrugating by side of Monticello, so I decided to try and draw our small crowd. I got this much done before we were called to get together for a group picture. The top person (you can only see a ponytail is suppose to be Leslie and the guy in the baseball hat is suppose to be Corry)
After that we headed to University of Virginia to check out The Rotunda which Jefferson was in charge of creating. However, before we met up there, we were released for lunch. Since I wasn't really hungry and am legal, I decided to look for a bar near by and have a drink. I stumbled upon Boylan Heights and while drinking and eating I decided to try again and sketch people. On the left is a girl eating at a table with a guy. Unfortunately, they left before I could get to him. On the bottom right were my attempts at drawing the bartendar. However, I'm still not at the level to be able to draw someone that continuously moves all around. About an hour or two later, I left the bar after having two RedBull & vodkas and cheese sticks with marinara.
On Monday, we woke up early (not too early) and had breakfast before heading out to PA. Forutnately, we were far so it wasn't too long of a drive. The seating on the left was the first piece of furniture I loved and felt compelled to draw. It's in the living room as soon as you enter the house. The one of the right was the other piece of furniture I saw that I really liked. That was in one of the bedrooms. I can't remember whose.
There are four this here. The one of the top left, I can't remember what I was trying to draw. The top right is an attempt at drawing the windows along the corner of Fallingwater with it's 'vanishing corner' effect. The drawing on the bottom left is the steps that lead from Kaufman Sr.'s Terrace to Kaufman Jr.'s office. Lastly, the bottom right is a piece of storage furniture in the hallway before leading outside to the guest house. Along with that is the attempt of an enlarged drawing of the details of it.
These were all attempts are drawing on the go but didn't really have to opportunity to do much before we moved on to something else. I'm just not that quick yet. Top left- is the top of the guest house. Top right is piece made of wood at the entrance of the guest house that leads into the living room. Bottom left is trying to draw the pool outside the guest house. And the bottom right is an attempt at drawing the top of the walkway that leads up to the guest house from the main house.
After watching a short clip on Fallingwater we were done with our tour. So I decided to draw the guest house from where we left the building. So far I had only gotten the top left part of the building when I had to go to meet up with everyone for lunch.
Lastly, some time after lunch and spending a hefty amount at the gift shop- I went back to Fallingwater to try and get an drawing of the whole this. This obviously not the whole thing but just the begining. Pictures will be posted shortly- probably this weekend.
