Get to Know Me Meme || (1/5) favourite royal palaces: Château de Versailles (France)

Château de Versailles is a palace located in the city of Versailles. It was home for the royal family of France from 1682 to 1789.
The Baroque style of architecture characteristic of Versailles Palace impresses people by its luxury, with colossal murals, rows of monumental statues, and an immense collection of fine furniture inside the palace. The stunning geometric design of the garden and the great fountain outside in the yard. The scale and style of the place shows the world without doubt about the power, the glory, and the wealth of the French monarchy in that period of French history. Mark Twain said of it, “You gaze, and stare, and try to understand that it is real, that it is on the earth, that it is not the Garden of Eden…” (x)

I see a lot of folks confused about step one in the tags and to explain: what they're doing is just a color wash. Typically it's done with a color opposite on the color wheel to the primary color in a piece (though can be other tones for various reasons). It helps to make the final colors pop a lot more than they would if painted directly on a white canvas as the wash will show up in tiny spaces between the paint/in thinner areas and create contrast.
