teshparekh — Wed, 02 Jul 2014 02:51:40 +0000

I love painting cityscapes as much as I love painting landscapes and seascapes. I have painted Raleigh both en plain air and also in my studio. This is a small sketch I had down awhile ago. The downtown was decorated for holidays. And I loved the evening light. I always have my sketching supplies with...

Rain. Autumn. Raleigh downtown. State Capitol. What is not to like?! This was not an easy painting! I had to really work at it to make it all fluid! One thing I have learned about watercolors is that each painting requires a different plan of attack! What worked yesterday may not work today. Different humidity....
