Cheryl C at Dock, Original Painting
Located in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
The lone boat bears the marks of its history. Here, she sits alone, at rest. Artist Tom Hoerber has kept the composition simple to emphasize the quiet solitude, focusing on the mild ripples in the water. By maintaining starkness, the viewer focuses primarily on the boat, imagining the stories she could tell of adventures at sea.

"Veduta Del Ponte Lugano su l'Avione" by Francesco Piranesi - Engraving
Located in Geneva, CH
Francesco Piranesi was born in Rome, the eldest son of Giovanni Battista Piranesi and his wife, Angela Pasquini. He was educated in printmaking by his father, along with his older sister Laura (1755–1785), also a noted printmaker at the time of his untimely death. He both engraved his own works of art and assisted his father's work in 1775. He then began to study with other experts: engraving with Giovanni Volpato, landscape painting under the German Jacob Philipp Hackert and his brother Georg and architecture under Pierre-Adrien Pâris.
Piranesi accompanied his father on two trips to the ancient Roman ruins of Paestum, Pompei and Ercolano, first in 1770 and then again in 1778. In this he was part of a group of engravers who collaborated with Benedetto Mori and the architect Augusto Rosa, considered the inventor of felloplastica, the art of building models of ancient monuments in cork. Giovanni Battista created a series of preparatory drawings on Paestum, which were completed by Francesco. Upon his father's death, shortly after the second voyage, Francesco acquired his father's publishing house and was responsible for printing most subsequent editions of his prints.
Piranesi collaborated with French artist Louis Jean Desprez...

Shop Landscape Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
Landscape drawings and watercolors show the world through the lenses of different cultures and perspectives. They were also incredibly important for displaying natural scenes before the invention of photography.
There are many ways to effectively arrange art on your walls so that you’re maximizing your wall space. You can introduce peace and serenity within the confines of a living room or bedroom if landscape drawings and watercolors are part of the art that you choose to bring into a space.
Watercolor landscapes have a rich history dating back to ancient China, where they dominated painting genres by the late Tang dynasty. Ink-on-silk paintings in China featured mountains and large bodies of water as far back as the third century. The Netherlands was home to landscapes as a major theme in painting as early as the 1500s, and by the Renaissance, watercolors had made their way to the West and into European culture, becoming a staple of decorative art.
It wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution that watercolor paints became more widely available and embedded in fine arts. Despite their broad distribution today, some artists have chosen to revive the old craft of preparing their own watercolor pigments, paying homage to the medium’s roots.
The variety of brush combinations and painting methods makes watercolor landscapes some of the most stunning pieces in any collection. Find landscape drawings and watercolors on 1stDibs.
