Todd Anderson

Along Willem de Zwijgerlaan, Statenkwartier. Direct Watercolor. 20"x16", 140lb Arches Cold Press.

Spent way too long in the details phase. This, after ruining several other sheets of paper... rough go at it lately.

Watercolor painting of buildings along Willem de Zwijgerlaan in the Statenkwartier district of The Hague, Netherlands. A large, three story block of second and third floor apartments resides above ground-level storefronts. The orange-ref brick facade houses large arched windows on the second and third floors, flanked by rectangular windows, alternating in reflecting back the bright blue sky and revealing dark interiors. The ground floor storefronts show large windows with angled light and non-descript wares below large gray canopies, leading to a dark entry in the center. In the foreground, an ochre sidewalk is covered in angled shadows.

@toddanderson Every time I see one of your paintings of The Hague, I instantly recognize it by a particular kind of light typical for The Hague before I recognize it from the buildings or architecture. I love how you're able to capture that, in this one too.

@toddanderson I'm sorry if this painting was hard for you. I hope it's some consolation that I think it is beautiful and it's bringing me a lot of joy! You are very talented.
