Pen & Ink Door

This painting is Pen & Ink with a watercolor wash. The reference photo for this painting was taken by Max Hemingway. He named the photo Secret Door. While painting this drawing with the watercolor wash, I wanted to make the bricks look more realistic, so my husband swept our driveway for me to get a bit of sand. While the wash on the bricks was still wet, I sprinkled sand over the brick area. I think that the sand did make a difference, and helped the bricks look a bit more realistic. I am happy with this painting.
