Watercolor Painting by JosephWatercolor – Central Park Reservoir

It’s a tough transition for me moving for Savannah to New York. In Savannah there are a lot of scenes that have nature blending in with human architectures, which happen to be the subject I like . Obviously, besides Central Park, you won’t find so much natural scenaries in New York…
In the past, I have done a lot of paintings depicting outlines of natural forms, such as branches. Now I also find some architecture given some certains circumstance such as sunset are attractive.
But to paint buildings presents a different kind of challenge; I can’t no longer run my brush strokes as freely as when I am painting branches, because it will make the building look shaky on the picture. And if I paint the way as it is perceived, the building would come out rigid. I want to simplify it and at the same time capture the essence of it, just like how I do the branches; eventually making this boring subject looks poetic.
I won’t say I achieve completely my goal, but I seemingly get the feeling of what I should do to make it right.
