This is sort of an amalgamation of pictures and buildings. It may be part monastery, part hospital, part something. So, “Insititution”.
A few goals here. First, a building of some complexity. Next, contrast on the building with sunny areas and shady areas. Mission accomplished, sort of!
I also used gouache, white and black, for different areas of the painting.

Interesting pic. Monasteries in the Dark Ages had all the functions of monastery, hospital, and sometimes school. J xoxox
It looks very verdant. I can’t decide whether the sky is blue with a thin haze of cloud, or if there’s rain on the way (or just passed). I like pictures that make me think about such things.
In truth, FishyFish, it was just the way the paint fell and the scan took the sky in the scan. The granulation of the paint – ultramarine blue on rough paper – adds to the effect. Glad you like thinking about such things – that is when a picture works, no matter the medium!
Thanks, Judy. That’s why I called it “Institution”!
Yep mission accomplished, looks good!
Thanks, Fraggy!
