VSW: Fremantle AU Boys School

From our Virtual Sketchwalk group on Facebook, Fremantle Austrailia;
images offered were mostly by Debi Taylor.
We do a different place each month!

Info from Wikipedia: The Fremantle Boys’ School is a heritage building on
the Register of National Estate (1972) with an interim listing on the State register (1992).  Located at 92 Adelaide Street, Fremantle, it was built to house the Fremantle School (1854) and was later renamed the Fremantle Boys’ School. Designed by William
Ayshford Sanford in the Victorian Tudor Style, it was constructed using convict labor.
Made of limestone, the roof has Dutch gables with shingle covering.
In 1910 additions were made by the Public Works Department.  It is also known
by the name of its later occupants, the Film and Television Institute.

I don’t know what came over me.  Instead of simply sketching my building visually, I went back in time and used a vanishing point.  The point was placed across on the other page, above left, lines were drawn — something I did a thousand times as an architect.  Good goddess, what a mess.  It would have been so much easier, faster, with a better result if I had just eyeballed it.

Inked, above, and then I added waterproof inks for shadows, right.
Below, two stages of watercolors added.
