The Residence
This gracious estate is the home of Mr. & Mrs. Chad Muir of Houston, Texas, a great and wonderful city. As you can see from the photo below this is indeed a grand manor, heralding back to the grandeur of ante-bellum Natchez, Mississippi. In many respects this splendid residence reminds me of Stanton Hall, in Natchez, one of the glories of the old south.
Cantilever
A most distinguishing feature of this fine home is the wonderful cantilever extension over the driveway. The detailing, and proportions of this element are quite remarkable, as they not only give space, and light to the home, they also give the home a noble stature.
Preliminary Sketch For House Portrait #624Z
- Clinker Stylus Sketch
The pencil sketch was submitted to Mr. Muir for approval before I commenced the architectural rendering.
Pencil Drawing
- Stylus Sketch
The pencil drawing as you can see below is the first phase of drafting up the rendering. This is the foundation of the work of art as I use it as my guide. It must be understood that I do not “copy” over the drawing, for that would stifle my creativity. Rather, I use the sketch as a guide to bring out the spirit of the house.
Pen & Ink
- Rendering
Below is the finished pen & ink drawing of the home. If you look closely you can see the pencil sketch below the ink.
