HC Vereins Kirche 9.5 x 12.5
Hand Watercolored | By Charles Beckendorf
Additional Information
Vereins Kirche - For this series Charles mixed a solution of gesso and coated drawing boards. After the boards were dry, he would draw his images with a pencil onto the rough texture. The images were then printed in black and white (the texture gives the image a "pen and ink" feel) on watercolor paper and are now hand watercolored by his son Ben Beckendorf.
Ben under the tutelage of his father has been watercoloring prints since 1968. This original print is limited to an edition size of 100. The image size is 6 x 9 and the print size is 9.5 x 12.5.
This is a part of the Texas Western Art Prints and the Texas Hill Country Art Prints Collection.

Charles Beckendorf and son, Ben, painted side-by-side for nearly 20 years. These handcolored prints by Ben Beckendorf are rare in technique and add value to these original Charles Beckendorf prints. Each print is individually hand watercolored in bright, earthy tones.
About the Artist - Charles Beckendorf
Charles grew up in Mathis, Texas, where he had the opportunity to spend hours on large ranches. Generous land owners gave him permission to wander freely over their ranches and he observed creatures in their natural surroundings. He developed a lifelong love of nature, whether it be in the tiniest of flowers or the largest of animals. It was at this time that he became a true naturalist.
