Night scene of the Jefferson Memorial, Washington, DC.This painting was a real challenge. Night tends to flatten colors. The challenge is when you have several light sources...inside, outside, and around. I'm not sure if I should post the procedure I did for this painting—it was a struggle. I tend to feel my way through a painting.

I really like the way the Jefferson Memorial glows and stands out against the blue sky in the background.
One of the better Jefferson piece. Beautiful
Thank you Caitlin!
Dominique, Thanks, it was a challenge.
This has a lovely, serene feel. I like the way the light is reflected on the (wet?) sidewalk. I found this image extremely challenging to paint as well. You did a great job.
I think this is my favorite of the bunch. You are getting better and better at watercolor so quickly!
