Church Nuestra Señora de la Concepcion y San Fernando of Toa Alta - San Juan, Puerto Rico

First Pen & Ink Watercolor Study

This is the Church Nuestra Señora de la Concepcion y San Fernando of Toa Alta  - a Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Pen and Ink Study

pen and ink study - scale and angles are still off, but pen means no erasing... just getting a feel for it.   Will try another sketch tomorrow and play with watercolor perhaps.

The above is an initial quick sketch of Church Nuestra Señora de la Concepcion y San Fernando of Toa Alta  - a Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of San Juan, Puerto Rico.   I didn't continue with the shading and details as I made a major mistake on my perspective - the walkway angle is way off, and overall dimensions are incorrect - my artistic muscles need a bit of refreshing.   

Virtual Paintout - Canary Islands

This is my drawing for the Virtual Paintout challenge. This is located in the Canary Islands and I did a quick pen and ink study with colored pencil.

Monterey Blvd, San Francisco, CA. A watercolor wash over my pen & ink drawing. I have a lot to learn about watercolor (...like everything!) and was afraid to put my brush of paint to the paper! A friend of mine told me to think "Matisse, and this is the result :)

This was the preliminary sketch:



and the outline for the painting:
