This is my great grandfathers funeral home that I thought would be perfect to represent death.
I made a mini sketch of the funeral home to make sure this was the angle I wanted to work with.
I then made a larger more perfected version of the funeral home.
After that I started on my full size version by drawing a pencil outline of the house and dripping ink mixed with water for the background.
I then went ahead and did an ink wash for the house as well.
I painted the windows next. I did this by painting the whole window and then wiping most of the ink wash away making the outside of the glass of the window darker.
I then started adding shadows to the bottom portion of the funeral home.
After that I painted the door and and tree. For the tree I used different values of grey and took a straw and blew the ink up the tree.
I then completed the stairs and the sign in front. I then added details to the funeral home as a whole.
After that I made the ground look as if there was snow on top of it.
After finishing the snow I put in the bushes and trees to finish the project off.
