The first commission watercolor portrait is done. I still would have preferred to feature the front door a bit more rather than the garage, but what is important to the client is important to me. The birch trees must have some special attraction or meaning. Not many flowers here, but the rest of the landscaping is in full fall bloom and helps liven the scene up with color. I always feel I am guessing somewhat about what the color taupe really is. but I think this is pretty good. The red shutters help the house from being too monochromatic.
First one finished

I just love the way color brings these drawings to life, Ruth! A very well-done portrait of a beautiful home 🙂

Thanks, Des. And the color doesn’t spring to life until the end when I add the shadows. At least that’s the way it works for me.
