Raphael's Stairway (Quarter 2, Project 2)

Just in time for the perspective lesson! This was taken from a photo reference of this outdoor stairway at Raphael's Vineyard in Greenport. It is one of my favorite Vineyards and I have had this photo sitting around for a long time. So, here it is for the next quarter project! It was nice to at least get a taste of applying perspective into a work and it showed me how complicated and precise it has to be! But all of that work was worth while, in my opinion. Also, ink wash is a lot of fun and is quite good at making pieces with a lot of contrast. And I love working in black and white.

 

I would also like to say that this technique of using ink wash was inspired by Lumen Martin Winter, whose gallery I saw over the summer. Since I saw his work, this is a technique I've been wanting to utilize. So, thanks Mr. Winter!
