This arch is adapted from a Renaissance arch from the book “Suggestions of Design” by John Leighton and James Colling (1880) found on archive dot org. I also added some Found Flowers on a frame around the arch. Shaded and colored with Inktense and Pitt Artist Brush pens. If you goto my blog you'll see I wasn’t able to stay faithful to the original - I love the way my hand just takes over and adds whatever details it feels like.
Read MoreLast April I had a family reunion in Lisbon and as part of our trip we visited the stunning Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, built in the 15th century in the Portuguese Gothic Manueline architectural style. As most Portuguese historic buildings, it was full of beautiful painted tile panels (azulejos). This picture is inspired on one such panel. I included some “Found Flowers” to replace the center decoration and changed the color palette. Shaded and colored with Inktense and Pitt Artist Brush pens.
