Door in Izmir

Door in Izmir - image 1 - student project

 

Fun project!  I did a door from Izmir, Turkey that I took a photo of last fall.  I really loved the ornate grillwork and of course the cascading bougainvillea.  But I probably would have been better off choosing something a bit more brightly colored!

 

My favorite thing about doing this project was that it reminded me to mix different materials.  I usually just pick up one pen and keep on sketching!  For this one I used a Platinum EF, Pentel brush pen, Pitt SB and Molotow F acrylic marker.  Paints are Van Gogh and Daniel Smith.

 

 

March 8, 2022 - I haven't painted a door since I did the above project, but came across a photo on Pexels the other day by Mauricio Borja that inspired me.  The shadows are what drew me in.  Also the yellow.  Tried about a million times to get a good picture of this but didn't have much luck - this is the best of the bunch!
