House painting




Here's something of a departure from the norm for me, a painting of a house. This was painted on commission and is mixed-media on watercolor paper. The paint is actually acrylic applied in thin washes and the wash-over-wash technique used for the bushes / trees (a standard watercolor technique but one I haven't used in many years) proved to be very enjoyable and I plan on incorporating this in some of my future animal / landscape work. Once the paint was dry a combination of water-soluble colored pencils, biro (ball-point pen) and fiber tip pens were used.
