Using the skills from our last project students will move on to create a finished watercolor painting of an architectural structure in an environment of their choice.
Begin by looking at some examples:

Find a photo reference of a building that shows two sides of the exterior creating a corner just like you have seen on the two point perspective poster.
FInd a photo reference of an environment that the buildng exits in which could be realistic or unusual.
Tape two strips of paper on the left and right of your 9 x 12 paper as demonstrated to extend the horizon line and create vanishing points on those strips off of your finished work.
Carefully choose where your horizon line should be on the page depending on the point of view you chose in your photo references. Begin to figure out where to place your vanishing points. (remember they are points, not circles)
Do your best to represent the buidling accurately but do not expect to replicate it.
When your drawing is developed and complete you can begin painting with watercolor. The goal is to utilize all four techniques we learned, and do your best to combine those techniques as well.
Make sure you have a solid light source when you paint so that the background and subject work in unison and make sense.
Foundations 2- Same as above except that your subject has to be 3 or more skyscrapers. You will include a third strip of paper on either the top or bottom of your page to allow for a third perspective point that you will include. This will essentially be in place of your vertical lines that you would normally use in a two point perspective.
