Description

Create your own piece of historic Westminster Abbey architecture with this detailed compass-and-ruler construction tutorial.

I’ve broken down the original Gothic North Rose Window into clear, precise steps so you can draw the complete rose window pattern perfectly by hand — and if you wish, add the intricate central motifs, layered quatrefoils, outer ring details, and corner cinquefoils.

To spark your creativity, I’ve included two of my own hand-painted modern colour versions. These are painted in a fresh, contemporary style that contrasts beautifully with the traditional Gothic geometry: a rich blue and teal palette with gold tracery accents, a vibrant purple and pink version with gold and black outlines.
Once you’ve drawn the rose window, decorate it in any style that inspires you.

What’s included:

Step-by-step construction guide (detailed colour-coded stages covering main pattern, central motif, ring motifs, and corner details)
