This painting is a new style of watercolor for me. It is called Line and Wash. The sketch is inked first. Then layer by layer the colors are added to complete the painting. It is a nice break from the very detailed paintings of flowers and animals.
I love the old barns and houses in the Shenandoah Valley where we live. I have wanted a way to save these lovely old buildings so others could enjoy them, too. This technique will make that possible.
