Description
This little hamlet/village is a small center for wine, specialty foods, and a few artisans. There's a small plaza to the right with a fountain, and various small shops and homes scattered about along the main road. Side roads lead to some of the vineyards and wineries in the area. The mesa up top will eventually feature a Mediterranean villa/castle with a distinct Italian emphasis.

I drew all the roof material as the same color to unify the roofscape. Exteriors have some stucco finishes, in white and tan, and maybe a little brick and stone. Small streams and waterfalls can be found throughout.

Technique: A pencil sketch on toned paper. I use Canson paper and cut it to size to fit in a binder easily. Pencils include 2H to 2B. I used white and terra cotta red watercolor to add accents. This kind of limited palette gives a nice effect, emphasizing the beautiful and varied roofscape. Finally, I added a few details and accents with a Micron brown ink pen with a very fine tip.

Note: ground plan added recently, with some general dimensions and emphasis on the beautiful tile roofscape.
