Using the two "bare bones" sketches, I added in trees, shrubbery, signage, benches, in order to see which view presented the most interesting and desireable one on which to base the painting. This is how I present my sketches to my house portrait clients as well. But let's face it, a sketch is not a painting and you need to trust the artist to turn that sketch into a beautiful painting. And you also need some imagination. There's a lot more that will go into the final detailed drawing, but right now we just want enough to select the best view for me to focus on.
