Before touching pencil to paper, I feel it is critical to visit the property, get to know it....understand its place in the "neighborhood", the overall environment, the architectural details, the colors, the textures, the trees and shrubbery. A portrait of a building is not unlike a portrait of a person...it has history, character, charm, personality....and that is what you want to capture. Which is why I say visit the site many times before even taking pictures.
Next, take tons of pictures, different angles, perspectives, close-ups, distant shots, at different times of the day, and also the neighboring buildings.
