This is my third sketch of the Sydney Town Hall so far this year. Back in February, I did an ink drawing of one part of the southern facade (see here) and a few weeks ago I did a version from a nearby cafe (included in this article). Last week I managed to see an empty bench just outside the entrance where I could sketch and do a multiple-layered sketch.

I spent 30 seconds drawing a few rough pencil guidelines and then I started adding some loose strokes with my Neocolor II. Next, I decided to build up the sketch with lots of coloured pencil lines (using my three favourite Bruynzeel Design pencils).

The final layer was watercolour which was added directly after I took this photo.

This was what my sketch looked like at the 30-minute mark when the rain started. I don’t think I’ll add anything more to it. 🙂

At the moment my mind is full of everything related to my Teacups course (which starts next week!) so I’m not really focusing on my other sketching at the moment. Doing this relaxing sketch was a great way to think about something else!
