Drawing of Rathsallagh House in Wicklow

I have finished working on the Rathsallagh House drawing today. I have scanned it now and matched it to the original. The detailed images below show the drawing at its real scale. I used graphite pencils ranging from HB to 6B and for the tint I used polychroma pencils in yellow ochre, burnt umber, burnt sienna, cobalt blue and earth green. It worked out quite well I think. The client had a picture taken on a frosty December morning and wanted to translate that in the picture. I think the cobalt blue really worked here. I used it on the grass and the roof. I hope the client likes it too 🙂
