I must confess it is taking more work than I realized with the amazing detail of this structure! It gives me a heap of respect for the architectural design! Designing the fairly recent (as in a few years ago) remodeling of this temple would have taken incredible skill!
The first step is a sketch in proportion to the canvas - which was a challenge to simplify while keeping the integrity of the temple design. It was then scanned and corrected in Photo Shop -
You cannot 'sort of' draw this type of building, it must be accurate. I then printed the drawing on two sheets of Canson Mi-Teintes Art paper. I am in process of adding values and color. Trees and flowers will be added to the foreground.
When the colored drawing is complete, and after the client's approval the drawing will be transferred to the 36" x 24" canvas.
I will keep posting the progress - It is definitely going to take longer than anticipated. The challenge will be to transfer all the lines of the temple onto canvas accurately - However, the end desire is to have a artistic painterly painting with feeling, not an architectural rendering.
Thanks for stopping by - I welcome any comments.
Hope you have a great weekend!

My studio drafting table - covered with fun fabric and clear vinyl for protection...
Colored pencil coloring in progress...The placement of foreground flowers & trees
is going to take some 'artistic license' to add.
