Third Street Homes. Final. Watercolor, graphite, Prismacolor pencils. March 16, 2010
I finished my Third Street Homes ‘portraits’ (thankyou Planetary Folklore for the great quote).
Since the last iteration I refined ground and sky, went over the watercolor with Prismacolor pencils to give the homes some texture, bumped up the contrast, pushed the darks a bit and, finally, worked on the vegetation and added the framing branches. You can see the first and second step here. C’est fini.
Speaking of buildings, here is an artist who goes around the world fixing crumbling buildings with Legos. (!)
The topic of these first three Artuesdays has been watercolor, and I would like to share the work of some very talented folks who are inspiring me for future paintings, in subject matter or technique:
