Penang

This is the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion in Leith Street. It's got a fabulous history of a Chinese migrant made good. The house was designed within strict Feng Shui principle e.g. Penang Hill behind the mansion at a distance.

  1. Hi Richard, I enjoyed looking at your very free and unrestricted way of sketching old buildings. Just a few outline strokes with a thinner felt tip pen followed a thicker one for highlight and shade. How long did you spend on this sketch?
