Foundations- Architecture watercolor

This project builds on the perpective work from our last project and will incorporate the four watercolor techniques we practiced. 
Begin by choosing an architectural structure of your choice and finding a sharp full color photo reference that shows the entire structure.  Place this building in an environment of your choice which you will also need a sharp full color photo reference for.  It could be unusual or realistic but the image must have a single light source so that it looks as if it sits believably in the environment.

As always, the expectation is that you have your charged chrome book every day and have your images saved to your google docs.

You will be drawing your image on 9 x 12 paper and when you create your horizon line you will tape copy paper to each side of your project to extend the horizon line so that the vanishing points are off the finished work.
When your pencil drawing is complete begin painting and demonstrate all four of the techniques we learned; wet on dry, wet on wet, dry on wet and dry on dry.
