Federation ceiling

I’m enjoying drawing light fittings as part of the 75 day challenge. They force you to do lots of ellipses – straight in without pencil guidelines. This time I was using a sepia Pitt Pen.  This was in a beautiful old Federation building (Federation of the states of Australia.)
The strange thing about drawing these three globes, was that the one at the back on the left looked the largest from where I was sitting. I commented to Annie, who was sitting off to my right and she said it looked larger from where she was sitting also. She went over and stood directly underneath and they were all the same size. Strange.

    Great subject idea.

  2. Lovely old lamps! QVB?

  3. Now that is my kind of chandelier. Had to laugh at your style of the different look to the size of the globes. I too would have gotten up to check it out closer.

  4. I mean “story,” not “style.”
