I think #1 would be the hardest for me to figure out how to draw on my own. I like the angle, the contrast of the roof color and the building with all the statues on the upper level plus it sits on the water with boats out front. Lots of detail that would really be a challenge.

Richard Linter

Number 5 - I am attracted by the challenge of this (3 point?) perspective

Joacir Junior

3 because the garden and way in front

Lorna Graham

5 perspective is something I really need to work on and I think this one would be a challenge for me. Love the sky too.

Stephanie Wright

The simpler the better for me. I am still having trouble with even plain buildings.

Rick Morris

I like 3. Love the fountain in the front.

Sherifah Sayegh

No 4 because it has so much detail, what to keep and what to simplify

Michael

These are all very challenging for me so please Scotty do several! :)

Karen Wilson

I actually like all of them, very challenging for different reasons. I guess we could have a go at them all on our own but I do like the perspective in 5

Karen King

I think #1 gives the most challenge with rounded dome, perspective changes, etc. But the others also look difficult.

Peter Johnson

#1 with the round dome but also the perspective of the three facing sections in the front of the dome. It's a Challenge of Angles.

Deborah Rifkin

#3 because I want to try a round cupola and try 2-point perspective with curves.

Fran

I like #1 because of the interesting blue rounded dome.

Tracy Yates

#1, Interesting perspective challenge and another example of how much detail to keep.

Ally Noormohamed

Number 1 and 5 are the most interesting for me because of their shapes, perspectives and backgrounds.

Vuken Diesel

I would love to sketch them all

Russ Sansom

I'll go with 5. I generally want the hardest one. So 5 or 1.

Tanya Nelson

I’d be happy with any of ‘em, Scottie—they all look beautiful and challenging in different ways! Thanks
