Summer House (Rescued Pen and Ink Sketch)

Post as:

I was looking through old sketchbooks today (I am still cleaning my home studio), and came across an abandoned sketch of a house. It was just the outline of a house, some basic lines. It looked like it was just a quick sketch that had been abandoned, perhaps because the lines weren't straight and there were a lot of "mistakes".  Looking at the sketch made me want to draw, so I grabbed a fine-line ink pen and started drawing, working out of my imagination.  I straightened out the main lines, then added porch rails, shutters, plants, trees, fence, and walkway. I think I worked on this for over an hour to get this far.  It was fun to rescue this little house, and this was a good drawing exercise.
