"Basilica Palladiana"
section of façade
watercolour study
32 x 41cm
experimenting with façades and watercolour washes .... I made a quick free hand sketch in blue biro on an existing blue and purple "wet in wet" watercolour wash and then added another wash loosely to suggest the façade. .
Hi Jane, I really like the technique here of the existing watercolour wash, biro then detail...and your resulting painting is wonderful. Thanks for sharing, hopefully I can run with an idea like this - at least give it a go, all thanks to you, cheers....ann.
RispondiEliminaHello Jane:) Love the way you painted this one. So different from your other paintings. Very nice!
RispondiEliminaVery interesting effect. It's so striking!
RispondiEliminaThis is beautiful, Jane! What a great idea to paint over an existing wash, it turned out great!
RispondiEliminaJane, just brilliant! If I could get my head around buildings I would want to aspire to painting them like this.
RispondiEliminaThis is so beautiful Jane. I love the fluid colors. :)
RispondiEliminalove this painting for its colors and the freshness. One can feel the architecture immediately by looking at this watercolor. but I consider this one as a finished painting rather than a simply study.
RispondiEliminathankyou ann biro pencil no pencil it's a good way an exciting way to work .
RispondiEliminahi renate many thanks .
hello susan thanks so much .. alot of the effects are from the paper i used ..canson montval ..it's very smooth and lifts easily ... with the second wash i used alot of water .
hi judy thankyou have a lot of washes i discarded from 100 wash challenge to experiment with .
hi there maggie thankyou so much ..i just know you can paint buildings ! .. i love this façade i enjoyed painting it ...thought the initial wash might have been too dark ..good to experiment.
RispondiEliminahi crystal thankyou glad you like the colours..the white façade and copper roof are striking .
ciao alessandro grazie mille ..thanks so much for your valuable feedback and encouragement .. i like the idea of it ...will explore more.
I adore this style of architecture and your beautiful painting evokes the classical age.
RispondiEliminaThis is gorgeous! It has a sort of 'Jean Haines' feel to it :0)
RispondiEliminaTrès joliment et délicatement suggérée.
RispondiEliminaIl est tellement facile de se perdre dans tous les détails de ce type de façade, un écueil que tu as parfaitement évité. Bravo !
Bellissima la tua interpretazione della Basilica Palladiana, Jane. Ciao!

RispondiEliminaSometimes I draw with pencil over a wash, it's interesting, but now I feel like experimenting this! Wonderful result Jane! Your drawing is very good.I'm convinced that good drawing is the basis for a good work, dont you think so?
RispondiEliminaJane this is excellent...wonderful washes and architecture!
