A watercolor of the Colosseum, with trees and bushes covering most of the base so it's only partly visible. I liked that better than a full clean view, since that's usually how you actually see it walking around, half blocked by whatever's growing nearby.
The stone is painted in warm tans and grays, and I spent a lot of time on the arches since they repeat across the whole structure and give it that rhythm. The greenery in front is looser and less detailed on purpose, so it frames the building without pulling attention away from it.
Watercolor on paper, painted from a photo I took while traveling in Rome.
