"Catalina Pacific Concrete - Ruins Study 8"
watercolor on paper, 2014
7¾" x 5¾" (19.685cm x14.605cm)
Again while looking at the art of ruins from history I take my cue from them so this view is presented from what I would call a middle distance.
The emphasis is on the talus in the foreground, ramping up toward the ruins so the color temperature variation really takes place there, the background is left cool. The placement of the sun also creates a wedge-shaped shaft of light further emphasizing the talus.
The sky is slightly darker than the this photo so the painting looks almost like a moonlit night.
I might make changes/improvements in another version of this, but that is the point of studies, to explore options.277
