Poster Painting #2: FALLINGWATER by Architect Frank Lloyd Wright

---

Hello Everyone! Greetings to you all! Here's a new painting that I'm going to share here. The house that was designed as a private residence and weekend home for a family, FALLINGWATER by Architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Fallingwater is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 43 miles (69 km) southeast of Pittsburgh. The house was built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, located in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains. The house was designed as a weekend home for the family of Liliane and Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr., owner of Kaufmann's Department Store. Fallingwater stands as one of Wright's greatest masterpieces both for its dynamism and for its integration with its striking natural surroundings. Fallingwater has been described as an architectural tour de force of Wright's organic architecture. Wright's passion for Japanese architecture was strongly reflected in the design of Fallingwater, particularly in the importance of interpenetrating exterior and interior spaces and the strong emphasis placed on harmony between man and nature.

Materials:

I used poster colors and brushes on my limelight sketchbook. Poster colors are usually less expensive than paints intended for display, and not very lightfast. You can easily add light colors over dark hues, so they are wonderfully straightforward to paint with. They are also very vibrant.
