EXERCISE 34
Visit a local church or other architectural landmark with a strong geometric
presence. Using colored pencils, draw the structure of the church. Don’t
hesitate to indicate the geometry of the shapes, and look at how one shape
supports the other.
Once you have your basic shapes completed in your drawing, you can add
the color. Be a little wild, as Eddie has done here, and play with colors that
feel right as opposed to ones that represent the color you see. It might be nice
to add a few people as well, for scale.
