Home in Florence

I approached the painting of this large, stucco-surfaced home similar to the way I would treat a landscape. I attempted to simplify all the various angles and exterior shapes while building colors on top of one another in a layering process. I typically start with a charcoal drawing underneath, then gradually build my pallet of colors from dark to light, trying to save only a few highlights for last.
