The Merman's house in Delft was painted after a picture taken in Autumn in
the sun and depicts the roof of the famous mayor in Delft who had this name.
The merman is shining in the sun and I learned in this aquarel how to create the illusion of gold and sunshine in the picture on the merman. I realised that straight forward blue skies are not in the spirit of an aquarel and that a blue sky that has a few movements and clouds is much more interesting.
In the full picture you can observe the trees standing out in the foreground just by making the roof a lot darker.
