Watercolor Wednesday

A few new drawings from Watercolor Wednesday, a weekly lunchtime watercolor class conducted by Matt Morris at Lake | Flato.

Lake | Flato's Josey Pavilion. The trees are black watercolor paint with a very dry brush, and the grass was done with charcoal pencil. Fun Fact: use a nail to make indentations for the grass, then go over the surface with a charcoal pencil. The vertical indentations will stay white.

A section through my Texas Academy of Science project. From right to left: entrance at Heritage Plaza, gift shop, courtyard amphitheater, planetarium, and gallery over the Trinity River.  This is white charcoal pencil on black foam core, with blue charcoal sky.

Lake | Flato's El Cosmico in Marfa, Texas, re-imagined as a monolithic stone ruin. A monument marking sunrise and sunset on the summer solstice.

A section perspective done with black watercolor and charcoal.

Fajada Butte at Chaco Canyon. Watercolor on black foam core.
