Yerebatan Sarayı

Discovered after being forgotten for 1000 years, Yerebatan Sarayı is one of the most incredible sights I have ever seen. I painted this in situ whilst standing (with no easel) and under very gloomy lighting.
Watercolour 19cm x 14cm.

Wow, thanks for the link! This must have been unreal to see in person. You've captured the somber atmosphere really well!

This is one of the best watercolours I've seen for a while.
