Bricks, bricks and more bricks. George Washington Park.

Pen&in, watercolor and color pencil on HP watercolor sketchbook 10 in x 7 in

 This is the East side wall inside the Washington Park in Historic Downtown Charleston.  The background is a house next to the park viewed from the park. A statue of Washington is there as well. The old old live oak shades this area and bricks, wood and concrete structures are covered in moss. Ferns always happy here. If you walk on a hot day under the sun of Charleston, this is a very well shaded area, a welcome break from the heat. 

The city of Charleston, like the city of Savannah has many buildings and walls made of brick and streets paved with brick which can be seen still today. This is a great example of the different kinds of brick produced in the lowcontry area, either from Charleston and Savannah. Some trees are still dormant but azaleas are in full bloom.

The soft pink color was made using my regular transparent watercolor quinacridone rose and Buff Titanium from Daniel Smith. It makes a beautiful opaque pastel color, something I have to do again to paint the rainbow row of houses.
