European / Asian Landscapes

Having lived many years in Germany a long time ago, I was lucky enough to travel to various destinations not only within Germany but also Austria, France, Netherlands and Spain.
I was fascinated by the architectural buildings of old towns and cities.
I'm glad to say, that there are a lot of generous photographers offering their images for artists to create from.
I love using the Watercolours medium to reflect the various buildings and walls as well as the varying European / Asian Landscapes which differentiate vastly to our Australian landscapes.
