Gouache Perspectives

Monochrome and limited-palette gouache exercises in single-point perspective — pink houses, blue cities, grey streets.

Gouache perspective in blues and pinks of an urban block.

Project Data

Year: 2024
Location: Cyprus
Typology: Painting · Perspective Study
Status: Study
Medium: Gouache on paper
Subject: Architectural perspective and color

Description

A short series of gouache perspectives exploring how a constrained palette can carry a fully architectural scene. Each painting is structured around a single-point or two-point construction and then resolved as a study in one colour family.

The exercise tests how light, atmosphere, and material can be communicated through hue and value alone — preparation for later studio work where colour decisions carry as much information as a section line.
