WetCanvas! August Challenge & EDM #184
Ah-ha! The WetCanvas! August Challenge includes an outside bench, so this also covers EDM Challenge #184 with the bench.
The scan changed the dull purple bricks to screaming purples, but the other colors are close enough. I originally meant to only suggest bricks and use a multi-brick-color area, but I got carried away. I freehanded those babies! No guidelines! I'll never be able to do that again.
Not what I had in mind, but one day I will be able to do my mental vision.
5x7, Fabriano Aristico Traditional, MaimeriBlu watercolors.
Update: I fiddled around with the painting by darkening the greens a lot and a few other areas a little. The second try is on the right. Nothing special, but I do like the darker colors.

This is beautiful and I see nothing wrong with the color! Great rendering of the door, the bricks, the bench, the pots...etc....just great all around!
SUPER SUPER JOB ON THIS JENNY!!! I especially love the bench -- a difficult thing to render weight and heft and you've done that as beautifully as you've done the bricks and the flagstones, and the pots, and and and!!
It's wonderful. I even really like the purple bricks!! The setting is so lovely, I would really like to be sitting there reading this afternoon.
Wow - beautiful detail. I like the purple bricks too! This looks like a wonderful, peaceful place to be.
Great piece, I like the darks you added.
