Rackham

Description: This is watercolor and ink. Overall, this whole process allowed me to learn some new techniques and try out some urban sketching/architectural paintings. This is not at all my wheelhouse so I really appreciated the opportunity.

I painted Rackham from a distance during the winter so the color scheme is a bit cooler. It sort of looks just like a fancy mansion rather than this big lofty building it usually is, which I think is a unique take on it. I had the most difficulty with this one. Doing this painting made me notice small things like that the color of the lining across Hill Auditorium's roof matches Rackham's roof color. It made me gain a new appreciation for the architecture at UM and how they subtly match.
