Hi! I draw an old building full of bushes. In 2021 I visited Faridpur District in Bangladesh. There I visited an ancient landlord house called 'Rajbari'. There I took some photos.

No one live here for a long time. Now it used as a tourists place without any payment. So everyone can easily visit it. As an old building it has some risks also. We saw one of the staircase was broken. We climb up on the roof using another staircase very carefully.  From the rooftop I took some photos and finally selected it to draw.

I show that one of cousins and an special photo that I took for drawing. My cousin laughed at me that I could never draw that. I took the challenge and started to draw the scenery.

I made a light sketch with 2B pencil on an art paper. I brused on the paper with black color then draw the broken cornice of the old building. I used water color and a brush. I tried to make the art realistic. So I tried to make difference between new and old leaves of trees by using light and deep colour. I tried to highlight the sunshine on the leaves.

The most difficult part was to draw the bushes top of the building. For more realistic I draw a part of the wall breaks without plaster. It carries the significance of old buildings. After three days hard work I finished the drawing.

Once in the middle of the work I thought it could be impossible for me but I keep my patience and try to draw gently. I completed the scenery and showd it to my cousin. She was surprised that I could do it and praised me a lot.
