Step 7
Here is the bottom half of the tower and a bit of the top. You can see that the top is farther away than the base, so I have extracted the base fairly accurately as it will make warping easier. The same applies to the right wing of the building.  |

Now it's starting to look more believable, but we still have a very long way to go. I shall refer back to this image whenever I lose my way (often).

Let's get down to the nitty gritty. For no particular reason let's start on this area:  |

We are going to create shapes, so vector graphics is the way to go. They can be made to go where you want with ease, and modified just as easily. They have lovely sharp edges. The pillars can just be seen through the scaffolding. You have to use your imagination with the invisible parts, but the guide we created earlier helps.  |

Michael, this is incredible. I look forward to watching your progress each day. It's like a time lapse video in slow motion

Glad you are watching this, Anna. There's more to come today, or tonight, or both. |

Sorry to be slow coming back to this I have been on the move. Michael this is just marvellous! To give us this insight into how you work is a real eye opener.

Thanks David. There are two people watching my every move. I had better be careful! |

This image uses only vector graphics except for the dome, the gables, the shading on the pillars, and, of course, the two statues. My original choice of statues was not entirely suitable, so i had to make some changes.  |

This all looks a bit murky in low res, but I will remember to post a hi-res link to the completed image.  |

The reconstruction phase is nearly finished. Later I will move on to a more interesting phase - enhancing and polishing.

Step 15
The guide from Step 8 has been very useful so far and has meant that little notice needed to be paid to perspective. Now we have to take care of the right wing of the building, and the Step 8 guide is less than accurate, especially with those right hand steps. Given the lack of clues I had to guess the horizon and the vanishing point location, but I was WAY OUT (see Step 15b)

Step 15b
The right hand stairs look even worse now than my guide. The obvious answer is that the VP belongs well down below the image, where you might expect the horizon to be. Second attempt to follow.
