ARCHITECTURE

Custom watercolor paintings of buildings require a lot of planning and measuring. The initial drawing often feels like an architectural rendering with tedious attention to detail. These paintings typically take much longer to draw than they do to paint. During the painting process is where I look for opportunities to let the watercolor flow freely and give it a magical feel.
