Drawing and Painting Fun (3rd) - Castles. Far and near -

This is Castle of Clavijo, do you know it? It’s in La Rioja.

We’re going to draw a simple castle. First, draw a BIG or LARGE rectangle. After this, draw two high rectangles, one on each side of the largest. Now, draw a small rectangle on the big one, in the middle. Draw a triangle on each of the vertical rectangles.

This is the sketch of our castle.

Let’s draw a window in each tower. Let’s draw a door. Put first vertical lines at the top of the triangles and then the flags. Draw the battlements with small squares.

Finally, we add small details. Small rectangles on the walls. And lines on the door.

We’ve finished, you can colour it to your liking and you can add more details.

When the objects are far they’re small and light. When the objects are near they’re big and dark.
