Description
Chalk over Charcoal sketch
Dodd House, LaGrange, Georgia
Dodd House is the first in a new architectural series I have planned � Plantation and Estate Homes � each to be done in a slightly different style but begun with a physical drawing or sketch and then scanned into the computer for additional digital enhancement, painting, ink, chalk, watercolor, textures, etc. I will not be posting this series consecutively, but rather interspersing these pieces with other posts. I am experimenting with the various ways I can combine traditional hands on artwork with digital efforts in Corel Painter or Photoshop Elements.
This two-story wood frame plantation house is in Greek Revival style, with raised basement in rear, and a truncated pyramid roof and widow's walk. Six modified fluted Doric columns support the two-story porch roof. A balcony with an iron railing looms over the entrance, which has double doors, framed by sidelights and transom. The porch is mounted via a stairway with iron railing. The house is part of the Vernon Road Historic District.

Shawn Hughes
Lianne,this is amazing you have totally captured the charm of the South, this is just beautiful! Big V&F!
Lianne Schneider replied:
Oh I hope you'll like the others in my Plantation series as well then Shawn - each using a different art style. I have to admit, I fell in love with the architecture of the deep south when I lived in Texas and traveled more throughout the south. Thank you so much Shawn.
Cheri Randolph
Luanne, wonderful rendition of this stately southern mansion! Great textures and brush strokes. Voted
Lianne Schneider replied:
Thank you so much Cheri - I loved getting to see these beautiful stately homes when I lived in the south. They hide a dark history, I know, but there are some beautiful sides of it too and it gave me a chance to go back to the drawing boards!
