This watercolor shows the inside of an old church in Killester, Ireland. Sunlight falls through broken walls onto five old gravestones. The stone floor slopes gently toward the altar. The artist used watercolor glazing here. That’s a technique where you layer thin, see-through washes of color to build depth. The colors stay bright even after 200 years. Look up the artist Gabriel Beranger, ca.1729-1817.
