This is the Government Palace in Victoria, a coastal city in British Columbia, Western Canada. Its scenic harbor, fantastic architecture - victorian, of course - and mild climate atract many visitors. It is also a favorite area for wealthy canadians to retire.I painted this small sketch in my travel sketchbook.

WOW!!! that says it all.
ReplyDeleteHi daddy, mommy has been emailing me her recent paintings so I just checked out your recent stuff as well and they look great! I love this one of the government palace it is absolutely stunning. the way you painted the sky is gorgeous. I also really like the one of the alamo...sheesh i feel like i missed out on the artistic genes in this family!
ReplyDeleteAnother little gem you produced. What color blue did you use in the sky? Is it a mix of cobalt and ultramarine blue. Great job!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while, but I think I probably used a mixture of Ultramarine and Indigo to make it a little darker. Thank you for the comments.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is great, and the light forms on the building too WOW, I am a beginner in watercolors, and as soon as I saw your aquarelle I put your link on my Blog, this way I will easily take peaks at your work !!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the light of this painting (not a sketch to me!) and the contrast between the dark clouds and the bright facade and green. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh Victoria BC is a lovely place to visit.

I love the shaded parts. The colors are breath-taking and the stormy sky make the palace stand out. It's the perfect picture.
