This is a first in that all the work on this piece was done while outdoors enjoying some marvelous days of sun and warm weather, AND I didn't press myself to complete the piece the same day I started it. Nor did I press myself to get it done the second day. It was finished on the third day of three spent working on it. My efforts were nicely paced so that I didn't tire looking at the piece to decide on color placement that can be difficult with this kind of complexity.
The materials used included a 140 lb. piece of watercolor paper from a Strathmore Visual Journal, a Bic Intensity pen for the initial sketch (black ink), Sharpie pens for color, and a bit of Golden acrylics (Titan Buff and Zinc White) + Faber Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor pen in grey for the windows.
In this piece, I generally worked from the left side of the image to the upper right part of the page. The center and lower right areas were the final ones done.
I liked the experience of working a couple hours a day over multiple days on this one piece, and I really like this outcome!
