“Your home is your castle….” as the old saying goes. I began doing house portraits in New Zealand 30 years ago and it’s still a favorite. Imbued with so many family memories, ones home takes on its own personality.
Here are a number of my house portrait originals showing a large variety of architectual styles, both old and new. They range from qaint cottages to stately homesteads to historic buildings to a unique log cabin farmhouse. The media I have found most suitable for this subject is black pen followed by a watercolor wash. The pen work enables me to include the finer details of the house and the watercolor wash brings it to life.
