This spectacular old building still shows it's beautiful detail in the weathered and worn arches that graced the first floor of the "Venice Building" in Cleveland, OH. I do relate to the Photo Realists, however, in capturing the character of the building in it's delapidated state I focus on the textures provided by time worn weathering and the honesty shown in the sunshine. There are no straight lines in my work here, and the perspective is slightly exaggerated. Those artistic decisions make it more of an interpretation. This piece was painted on 300lb Arches Rough paper with a natural deckle edge which can be framed to show or put under a matte. I paint all the way to the edges, so the work has slight holes I repair all the way around. I personally show the work floated in a shadowbox frame so I can see the deckle edge and all. I look to use high quality light-fast watercolor tube paint. Watercolor can be tricky. To build up this kind of color, many layers are painted in flat washes piled on top of each other, sometimes even 20 layers are required, while some areas are reserved for the white paper to show through.
