Castle-like church by artsygang

Castle-like church

This is my interpretation this amazing castle-like church captured by Brian Moody https://365project.org/brianm/my-food/2021-11-22
It is ink and watercolour. It is quite large: paper size is A3.
The credit for the idea to leave the building in ink goes to an amazing artist I don't dream to compare (just not yet 😁). https://youtu.be/n6ALuLvqAwU

@brianm Thank you very much, Brian, for allowing us to paint from your photo.

gosh! i am so amazed with your skill and industry. meanwhile, i am sitting here considering which should i do first, paint or vacuum?

the colours are lovely, especially the sky. aces!

i won't attempt this as it is rather complicated for me. you're the queen of architectural arts. i'll be going for something simple if i do get my arse to gitup an' wield da brush!

@monikozi I'm glad you thought it worthy of painting and hope it gave you enjoyment. I really like your painting especially the concept of combining ink and water colour.

The church stands out beautifully.

@monikozi Great idea to blend the two in this way. I think leaving the architecture in pen and ink was a great solution. It allows us to focus on the architecture and yet fills up the blank spaces around it with the watercolors!

@summerfield always choose painting first! Vacuuming is overrated!

Absolutely lovely. I like the combination of different media @monikozi

That is rather striking. Colours are so crisp.

The structure of the building is very well drawn and inked.The colors flood the painting and bring a rush of joy.

So lovely, the colours are brilliant and the clock looks real

@summerfield Well, I'd say, go for the brushes. But if vacuuming is buzzing, then finish it and then enjoy the brush.
Queen of architecture 🥴 no way. It's just easier than organic shapes, Vikki.
Looking forward to your results.
Thanks for the support.

@brianm Thank you very much. I hope you like it too. I'm not saying it couldn't have been better, but for the time being, for my skill level, this is it. I thoroughly enjoyed drawing this.

@wakelys Yes, i believe so too. The inspiring artist in the video does add some colour to the roofs as well. But I chose not to. I had no idea what colour to add, anyhow. Thank you very much for the support.

@grammyn Yes, Katy. I think so too. I am still struggling with the paints. There are three layers of colour there, you know? And i am still not very happy, but i had to stop.
Thank you for the support.

@salza Thank you, Sally. Yes, i like that contrast too.

@casablanca I still have issues with the colours. As i said above, there are three layers of colour bith in the sky and in the grass. And i am still not completely satisfied. Thank you for the support.

@randystreat Thank you so much, Kathy. I appreciate your support and input. The colours were much lighter and warmer at first. And i tried to mute them a bit. Not a complete success, but it is fine.

@kjarn Heheee... i was staring at that clock and wondering if i got it right. In the photo, i think there is a slight distortion in the circle due to the perspective, and that is compketely missing in my interpretation. I only realised that after i drew mine in ink, and the perspective seemed to be a bit wrong. But I am very happy with that mistake, as it makes the drawing totally mine.
Thank you so much for the support.
