This is about House portraits large & small compared, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This pen & ink drawing is the first phase of a watercolor house portrait which is showed in comparison to a smaller house portrait below. The task of this post is to show a visual comparison between a large non-matted (13″x 19″) house portrait with a (11″ x 14″) matted house portrait. As you can see from the photos below the large house portrait is 3 time the size of the matted one. This is an exceptional value for the client as he or she is getting much for artwork for their money!
Another excellent feature of the large un-matted house portrait is that you have no framing or gift constraints. You can have it famed and matted in a wide choices of sizes or you can choose to mount it to a board or panel as a collage house warming gift. The flexibility is all yours with an un-matted house portrait.

Delineation
The house is modern Midwest suburban two story structure. The lines of this home work well for rendering as the architect did an excellent job of correctly aligning the central block of the structure to the rest of the dwelling.
Hatching & Cross-hatching
The house lends itself naturally to pen & ink, especially in the entry and porch on the first floor. The use of hatching was a natural here as well as on the dormers in the front over the garage.
