Cartagena Colombia Watercolor Painting
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
This is a cute little watercolor I made inspired on a photography I took while I was in Colombia Cartagena. I didn’t try to replicate everything.
I just worked off the composition and then I expanded from there. It is fun to try a bit of landscape from time to time.
The painting was given form by a black fineliner pen. It is important to make certain that the pen is not water soluble.
It must say archival quality, in order to combine it well with watercolors. The interior belongs to a church.
I included the original photo so you can see what I was working with. I added some elements and I removed others in order to make the silly painting.
It is nothing too far out there, but I am quite proud of it, nonetheless. I hope this inspires you to try out landscape painting.
If you cannot get out of the house, you can practice using photos from the internet.
