St. Augstine Inn

 My husband and I used to spend time just walking around St. Augustine. It's such a beautiful town. Of course that was before the pandemic. Now we hardly leave the house. We are fortunate that our family is nearby and we do spend time with them.

During those walks my husband Sandy took lots and lots of pictures! This painting of the St. Augustine Inn is one of those. I used several techniques I learned from tutorials by Paul Clark.

I changed the photo into a line drawing and placed it on my light box. I traced the drawing onto watercolor paper. I followed that with a Micron 03 pen over the pencil lines.

 I painted the drawing with Winsor Newton Cotman watercolor tubes onto Canson 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper.

Of all the painting I have done in the past year, this is the one I really loved from the beginning.
