Ducal Palace de Nevers
This painting is the the Ducal Palace de Nevers in Nevers, France. It is painted from a photo by of one of my colleagues of www.aquarelmere.nl who went there in 2007. I painted this 2008.
The building doesn’t have round towers. The real building has 8 or 6 sided towers. I decided to make the towers round because that looks much nicer on an aquarelle painting. So I also have a discarded version of this painting with 6 sided towers.
When you paint the towers round then you can rely on the effect of water color that distributes the paint evenly. I think this is one of the first paintings where I started to make things according to how I like it and not so much how things are "supposed to be".
