Door and Tulips by artsygang

Door and Tulips

I did a pencil sketch, agonised over perspective, scale and verticals. Then inked it, dried it and started a watercolour wash.

Not all of my drawing pens are suitable for use with a wash- most irksome!!

Vikki suggested this as a possible subject for us. I've given it a bit of a Greek Blue twist - do tulips grow in Greece??

This is lovely Jackie. I really like the lamp and the overall colours

@30pics4jackiesdiamond i like this so much!!! Again you made it your own in a most creative manner. Who would know that your pencils did not obey your will? It ias as the artist intended. And if the artist decides, tulips grow in Greece.
Well done!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Who knew you had such mad drawing skills?! You have achieved a great amount of detail with this one!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond So nice! I really do like your loose style, as I always tell myself, "interpretation not imitation". You've inspired me!

Love your color scheme and interpretation. Really well done and I love that the frame is not a perfect rectangle.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Who cares where tulips grows - yours are very colourful. A lovely colourful door and the path leads you nicely to it.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond amazing drawing!
As far as i know,there a few species of tulips that grow in Greece,but most of them are not the well-known tulips we usually have in mind.
I suppose these are propably imported from the Netherlands haha

@kjarn knew red wouldn't work!!
@gerry13 thank you for kind feedback
@wakelys thanks Sue
@jernst1779 I so wanted angles to be right!!
@theredcamera I used a ruler and if I'd had a set square I'd have used that too!! I think I'm truly a photographer not an artist!! I like realism ( I enjoy looking at abstract though!)
@grammyn I spoiled it a by using the pens!!
@monikozi thanks Moni!!
@salza fortunately running ink worked as stonework!! Glad you like the lamp!!

Thank you all very much appreciate you lovely feedback. J
