Always wanted to try to watercolor some of my photos.

Football, Miami FL vs Virginia Tech. I used one of my photos from the game.

University of Miami (Canes, Hurricanes) at Virginia Tech (Hokies).
Lane Stadium, Blacksburg, VA.
Final score: Virginia Tech 37, UM 16.

 

Burruss Hall. I used the same photo that is on the cover of my photography book "Virginia Tech: A Pictorial Tour".

Duck Pond. For this watercolor I used a photo that I took back in 2014, I believe.

Interestingly, but not surprisingly, every time I tried to re-do my steps in rendering a watercolor, the result was different from the previous one. Here's one example. Same photo, different brush strokes and different filters.
