Base of a doorway, Fountains Abbey
A sketch of the base of the doorway to the slype, or passage, adjacent to the chapter house. I did this quick sample drawing while waiting for the first group of students on the 2018 measured survey for cultural heritage summer school. I try to encourage the students to look at the subject in greater detail than they usually do and draw it to get a better understanding of it. I was able to go back to it several times during the course of the day to add detail from the better preserved components of similar doorways, just as I was encouraging my students to do.
