What a nice idea and what a sad ending:/ All of them could not be abandoned tho. They should have responded..Rude...I wonder how this house looks like right now..
P.S. I really would like to see your perspective on my Farnsworth House someday! (The sketch one in my gallery, remember?)
Btw this is not a deal, dont be scared

~deviantmike423 Dec 27, 2009

I thought about that.

Really?!
I'm curious about how your style will interplay with a minimalist one!
Would be great!

Wow I must have missed this one!
Just saw it!
I want this house! It's like a little castle

Great work Vansant!

Thanks. If you look at the right bottom you'll see a tear in it. I got this image from a book of Victorian Houses that I bought. It (the book) had the addresses of the houses in it as well, and one year at Christmas time, I drew about a dozen of them and then mailed the drawings I did of the houses to all the addresses in the book. Didn't get a single response back. One, however did come back as "house abandoned".

This is so wonderful! I feel like I would like to live there. The magenta pen is a really neat effect - did you do the watercolor first and then the pen over it? Or the other way around?

Either way, it works wonderfully. Makes me want to go draw a house.

Thank-you VERY much!
I feel the same way about wanting to live there. I usually feel that way after every house I do. Kinda like a test for me. I do a lot of houses, they're my favourite thing to paint. As far as the pen goes, I always do the inking last, and define what I think needs defining. Too much ink can definitely ruin a good painting. I've learned that the hard way too many times.
I'm glad I inspire you to do a drawing too!
