I painted this abandoned villa from a photo I took two years ago, when I was visiting my parents in Calabria during Easter. I’ve recently bought ‘The Watercolourist’s Guide to Painting Buildings’ by R. Taylor, so I thought I would give it a go in applying some of the techniques explained in the book. The results are not quite the same (especially the perspective of the windows on the ground floor, as my little brother pointed out), but I enjoyed the painting overall.
