The history of the Acropolis was a little daunting - how could I capture this place in a drawing? - but I ascended. I drew sections through this World Heritage Site with particular interest in the landscape and the neighborhoods abutting the cliffs. I drew the jumble of tile rooftops just below the Erechtheion, and a few sculptures in the small gallery of artifacts on site. Now, with the brush, I was able to accentuate the rise of the plateau. This was how I experienced the Acropolis.
I made the ink drawing as an undergraduate architecture student traveling independently through Europe following a semester with the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech. I used watercolor to enliven and re-interpret the drawing here, in December 2022.

Welcome to my Travel Sketches II Collection: lines drawn on site now illuminated by waterCOLOR, a little more wild and free than the first collection of May 2020. Together, the Sketches reveal my personal evolution in architectural travel sketching and offer a piece of travel art that can remind you of your own memories in place.
Thanks for helping to GIVE BACK: I'll donate 5% of the sale of this piece to the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech for student assistance/scholarship for travel study abroad.
