Colored pencils are excellent for the intricate details of the mission facade and fountain. Fine-tip markers can provide crisp lines for architectural elements. Watercolors can create beautiful washes for the sky and large wall areas, adding a soft, historic feel.
Start with the large wall areas using light, even pressure. Use simple color schemes for the building and foliage, perhaps 3-4 complementary colors. Focus on staying within the lines of the fountain and main building. Take breaks to maintain focus and prevent hand fatigue.
Create depth on the stone walls and archway using cross-hatching or stippling techniques with varying shades of a single color. Use color blending for smooth gradients on the sky or water. Apply subtle shadows under arches and around the fountain to enhance realism. Experiment with texture on the foliage using small, circular strokes.
