This watercolor shows Tallaght Castle four miles from Dublin. Two men work outside the gatehouse. One rolls a lawn roller over the ground. Watercolor lets Beranger capture light and texture in soft strokes. The castle sits in the background, half-hidden by trees. The men’s small tasks make the scene feel real. Look up the technique that made this work possible: watercolor glazing.
