For today’s Direct Watercolor challenge, I did use a very light pencil line to establish the barn’s general proportions, but still did most of it with watercolor, a couple of brushes, and a sponge for the foliage. This is a closeup of the unusual barn from yesterday’s watercolor, found just east of Kennard, Texas on Highway 7. We aren’t sure what specific uses this structure has but it is unlike any of the many barn designs we saw back in Kansas.
Is that like a little portico you would drive a wagon under? I wonder if it didn't serve a dual purpose of housing and barn at one time! It definitely is interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely sized to drive a wagon through, but I’m not sure how it works.
DeleteOld barns in Kansas built into the side of a hill often had the upper level for wagons to drive into, unloading their hay which could then be dropped to the animals on the lower level.
