The 'Palace of Westminster' Original Version

Lizzy Hewitt

This painting was based on my very first sketchbook drawing of Westminster. I like to get to the heart and understand a building, so I'm fastidious about the intricate details, all the glorious features of this magnificent gothic structure. I found it exciting because it's so complicated architectually and therefore more of a challenge, which I can possibly simplify and quirk up in later versions, to appeal to a different market. The exterior facade has been saturated towards orange as I like strong colours rather than it's traditional beige. My main aim is to create a fun and original drawing with a light-hearted approach to make the viewer smile.
Original drawing 16.5" x 11.7" | 42 x 29.7 cm (A3 unframed); 140Ib./300gsm watercolour paper, Winsor & Newton watercolours / Dip pen with Winsor & Newton Ink
