mbr Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Does anyone have any arch water color artists they could recommend looking at (besides Ernest, of course)? Trying to work on the NPR and would like some quality reference material to study. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbr Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Sure, I'd love to see! Your work is always inspiring! I do have plenty of bookmarks that I found searching, but I was hoping that there would be favorites that people had, particularly for arch viz (I am really interested in the lighting and skies of some arch watercolors). Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Burden III Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Does anyone have any arch water color artists they could recommend looking at (besides Ernest, of course)?. Ernest don't play dat no mo'. I'm 100% digital. There are a lot of great people listed here: http://www.asai.org/members_web.html look at: James Akers Tom Schaller Frank Costantino Elizabeth Day Gilbert Gorski among many others listed there... Could you be more specific about what you are trying to achieve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gus_webb Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 doug lew is fantastic. i'm a little biased, because he was one of my professors (architecture in watercolor at the university of minnesota), but he really is good at what he does. he has a book out of watercolors of florence that's just beautiful. he doesn't specialize in architectural visualization (or even architecture, for that matter), but he does really nice scene work, and has a great eye for color. there's my two bits.

gus_webb Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 i just tried to find some of his works online, and there isn't much of his architecture, unfortunately. if i can find some, though, i'll post a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbr Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Strat - looks nice. I'd like to do that someday, but time always seems to escape. Ernest - I realize you are a digital man now, but you've got some nice traditional work in your portfolio (and are a master of the NPR, and I believe you recently put some colored pencil on a print?). Doug Les has some really great work! Not what I was looking for to learn from, but great work. I'd love to own one of those - so much motion (and God knows I love that!)! What I am looking for: mostly the colored skies and lighting effects (those purplish shadows, yellow lights), and the nice reflections on the ground like it just rained. Pretty standard stuff, I think, but it can look really warm. Also interested in evening/winter scenes, and usually evening/night shots. The mood and atmosphere are what I'd like to study. Pretty vague, eh? I would like to try to bring some of the warmth that many of the water color artists achieve (or colored pencil) that seems to be missing in most CG arch. Thanks for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
