| Gates of Andalucia, watercolor, 42 x 32 cm |
I tried this subject a number of times. Initially without pencil drawing, which was a disaster, as everything was ending up crooked and disproportionate. Then, with a drawing, it was turning out like a paint-by-the-number thing. In the end I liked this result with the distinct directional brushstrokes and putting the colors on the paper instead of pre-mixing them. I would like to try a bit looser style next, maybe...

This is beautiful, Blaga, what a great subject! It seems to me it is hard to paint architectural subjects, let alone in a loose way. I like the way you used the colours!
Me gusta. Saludos andaluces.
I think they look great the way they are. Architectural works definitely are a bit tedious.
That's true, Judy, it's hard to paint architectural subjects loosely. Defining well the contours and shapes though, gives you some freedom afterwards. Thank you, for your comment!
Gracias, José, me alegro mucho de que te guste!
Thank you, Asit! Yes, it is tedious to get the drawing right, and hard not to get buried into the details afterwards.
Ciao,
scusa la mia incostanza nel commentare, ma seguo comunque il blog e gli amici...
Ho guardato i tuoi lavori che mi sono persa e trovo che siano belli, morbidi e liberi, cosa che a me piace molto!
E' una bella "strada pittorica" perchè da grandi soddisfazioni e nulla è ripetibile!
Ciao, abbracci, Floriana
Really difficult arches and directions. These are lovely doorway paintings
you've done a great job blaga ...i like the composition you have painted with the two doors ... could see another collage with more .
Ciao, Floriana, i tuoi commenti sono sempre i benvenuti, grazie!
Thank you, Polly!
Thank you, Jane, I had the feeling that the two doors would keep each other company :)
Always I photograph the doors, but I have not painted yet!
I admire these doors of Andalucia and the light that shines on them, so special!
Hola Blaga: Muy impecable, original y hermoso trabajo, donde las luces le dan un toque especial a las puertas. Saludos!!!
Hi, Blaga, this work is very beautiful and lovely. Wow, you have to teach me how to do for architechture.
Best wishes, Sadami
I have been taking a look at all the latest posts that I have been missing last weeks. They look all pretty, and the styles vary alot.
Dear Blaga:)You choose very difficult but original subject. Especially the one on the right side is lovely! Well done:)
You can certainly draw Blaga but I agree it would be nice to see this in a looser style like your previous flower paintings which I love.
