Clinker Stylus Sketch
The pencil drawing below shows the basic outline of the house. I really liked this view of the home because of the angle and most Importantly, because of the fabulous tree! The landscaping is outstanding and I so wanted to capture it.
The large stone as the bottom of the photo make for an excellent support to the large tree above and the house. Because of the large stones, the trees is permitted to show the glory of it’s posture as it leads you to the entrance of the house.
The pencil sketch is the most important step in the creation of a house portrait, as it is putting the foundation together.

As always there are adjustments to be made. For example; I removed leaves from the tree that were blocking the view of the house. Also, I had to move the lamp post to the right so as not to block the front window.

This lovely Georgian house has been commissioned by Elizabeth Henning of her home. Because the commission entails to works of art, one in watercolor, and the other in pen & ink, it was a great way to do one in color and the other in pen & ink. The two pieces are of the same house but from different angles. The perspective of these renderings will be discussed below.
Pencil Drawing For Watercolor House Portraits #300Z
Below are two pencil drawings of the Henning home. The top sketch is of the façade, and coach entry of the home. This is truly and grand old estate and beautiful in every way. The proportions, the scale, and the position on the lot are all well done.
Of course the pencil drawings lay out the foundation of the house portrait, much like the basement of a house.

The pen & ink drawings below show the façade and side of the home. This property is located on a corner lot and it really showcases the architecture. I have employed the use of hatching and cross-hatching to bring out the shade and shadows of the home.
The nice thing about doing a drawing of a home like this is that you cannot go wrong. Because no matter how you draw it, the rendering always look great because of the beauty of the home. Most importantly, I always find it a challenge to get a simple suburban ranch to look like this!

Pencil Drawing For Watercolor House Portrait #285Z
Clinker Stylus Sketch
The pencil drawing is the starting point for the house portrait. As you can see from the sketch below, the outline gives you the basic form of the property and the house in the background. I have used a 6B lead to make the sketch so that you can see the delineation more clearly. Also, a darker lead makes it much easier for the scanner to pick up the image for reproductions and prints.

Pen & Ink Drawing
Stylus Sketch
The pen & ink drawing below shows the lines of the pencil sketch from beneath. Unlike the pencil sketch, the pen & ink drawings have to be exact. There is no room for error here, for what you see is what you get.
Vertical Lines for watercolor house portrait #285Z
I really enjoyed doing this house portrait and in so doing I took some risks with the composition. As you can see from the photo above, the scene is in winter and there are woods and trees all over. I of course had to reduce the about of trees to that you could get a good handle of the house in the rendering. However, a favorite thing of mine is hatching and cross-hatching. To capture the background woods of the house, rather than move the pen in many cross and haphazard patterns to denote the trees, I used loose vertical lines. This makes for a great screen and backdrop for the scene.
River
The river beautifully enters the drawing from the left side and curves towards the background. Because along both sides of the river are trees and bushes. I made a point to boldly delineate these elements to give strength to the drawing. The long low wall that borders the river by the playhouse I have made bolder to as to bring out that form.
Tree Shadows watercolor house portrait #285Z
One of my favorite parts to the house portrait are the shadows made by the tree from the far right side of the drawing. Because these trees cannot be seen as they are off of the photo, however, the afternoon setting sun is shining through them casting their shadows along the driveway and lawn to the river.
Bushes
The cluster of three mid-size bushes in the front left of the drawing are the anchor for the piece as everything is balanced from them. Without these bushes you would not properly understand the driveway, as they are adjacent to it.

Watercolor
Painting
The watercolor is the glory of the painting. I am very pleased with how the watercolor of the trees in the foreground blend in perfectly with the vertically lined trees in the background. Most importantly, I have made the brush strokes light and fresh.
The beauty of the river is made manifest with the mix of blues that I have blended to achieve a gracious tone.
