Architectural Details, Exterior

Description

Beautiful details found on traditional Polish buildings, primarily wood, but also a little bit of brick. Certain types of design patterns and motifs seem to recur when you study it. Certainly some advanced timber frame techniques, including mortise and tenon joinery. Upper gable decorative truss detailing is exquisite. Some carving has a bit of a "primitive" feel to it, like the column capitals.

Technique: Pencil studies done by hand using some source photos, but drawing the details "flat" and two-dimensional, not in perspective. I drew all these together on one sheet of 8"x11" white vellum over graph paper, scan the drawing, tweak the color to sepia, and put titles and labels with GIMP software.
