Melbourne, Vic
How could I not drop everything and sketch this delightful building while it is fresh in my mind? I call it a ‘Travel Sketch’ as I have drawn it from my photo and unlike ‘Urban Sketching’ I have chosen to leave out the wheelie bins by the front door.



Very nicely done.

Very nice! I read your last post about htis shed and it reminded me of when I worked in the building next to that shed in Docklands. I used to look down on the section to the north near Bourke St. It was being fitted out for a restaurant at the time. lovely building, its a shame they had to split it in two.

Glad it brought back memories Bob. Gosh that Docklands area is going ahead in leaps and bounds but it still needs a few more years to age and build character.

Love it. Some blogs ago I proposed a travelsketchers manifesto, just for the situation you were in. So I love it.

Thanks Terry, it is such fun but don’t you wish you could talk to those old builders and architects and tell them their work has stood the test of time.

That would be something. Have you ever watched the British TV show “Help I bought A Village”? It is about people who buy and restore derelict villages in Europe. We like it since we live in that kind of place. You might enjoy it if it’s available.

Thanks Terry, I’ll search it out. I’ve watched so many shows on restoration I feel I’ve earned a Masters in repairing gargoyles!

An excellent drawing – especially without the surrounding oppression

Love it! We recently had a faded wedding photo re coloured and, at the same time, had the photographer “weed” the church steps!
