This is a tiny sketch from a trip to the beautiful city of San Francisco. The old maximum security prison is now a museum.

About Me
- Julio Rodrigues
- Julio Rodrigues was born in Portugal and emigrated to the United States (New Jersey) in 1978. After a career in the engineering field, watercolor painting is his favorite hobby. He is a self-taught artist who likes to work primarily with transparent watercolor due to the freshness and luminosity of the medium. He also works with pen and ink, and pencil, sometimes combining these media. His favorite subjects are buildings and townscapes of historical interest. In his watercolor paintings, he strives for transparency and strong light and shadow contrasts with as few layers of paint as possible. His greatest challenge is to arrive at just the right amount of detail without overworking the painting.

É tão bonito, que parece tudo, menos uma prisão! Gosto muito dos tons quentes do céu.
ReplyDeleteTambém já a comtemplei naturalmente, mas não não consegui gravar a sua imagem desta forma,bela.
ReplyDelete...Que todas as prisões pudessem um dia tornar-se museus...
I too enjoyed my trip to San Francisco. Your painting sparked great memories of my trip. The Sun in the background made the building came to life. Great work! Maybe someday I will be able to master some of your talent.
