Watercolour Challenge 218: Le Vin Perdu Restaurant (Patreon)

Hi everyone we are starting 2025 with a lovely 3 part building painting. This townhouse restaurant is a lovely design with some great watercolour lessons hidden within. I have attached the finished piece as well as the reference photo. I thought both would be particularly helpful for anyone who doesn't love drawing.

Today is all about the drawing phase. Your secret weapon is a set square/right angle ruler.

It's also worth remembering that we edit out most of my mistakes so you can enjoy a smooth running tutorial but please don't be hard on yourself if you don't get it right first time. Just draw lightly and have a go. You have the references attached if you eventually find you'd rather trace but please do try as the character really lies in these paintings from being hand drawn with a little wobble!

You will need:

cold pressed watercolour paper a5/6x8 inch

hb pencil

set square

hard and soft eraser
