Red brick Town House - Watercolour Portrait

Red brick terraced town house in England

I painted this with a direct "face-on" angle which works well here I think because of the contrast with the garden plants. Each brick is individually painted and the windows and doors have lots of detail themselves.  I often recommend taking photos from a slight angle to the front of the house to make a more interesting composition but I hope you agree that face-on perspective can make an interesting house portrait too!
