Ponte Vecchio

Een prachtige foto van Lee Brown van A day not wasted zorgde er voor dat ik meedeed aan de februari challenge.
De foto is gemaakt in Florence, Italie en de brug in kwestie heet dus Ponte Vecchio. Halverwege kwam ik er achter dat ik wel een beetje erg veel kleur had gebruikt maar ach, in een zonnig land als Italie misstaat dat niet!

Aquarel
30 x 40 cm.

  7. Hi Renate, I find your interpretation of the "Ponte Vecchio", nice and original. I would say that the colors are typically those of the cities of the center of Italy. Well done! Ciao.

  13. thanks for the yupo address, that s it i have already ordered some. your "ponte vecchio" is very nice. i see that we are doing the same challenges at the moment. my painting for the rookie painter challenge is hard to finish as every time i work on it i ve got to redo the background which is all messed up. are you doing it too? is it easier in watercolor?

  15. Ah, the Ponte Vecchio. A Day Not Wasted provides some wonderful resources for painters, and you have captured the feeling. The colors are warm, and you feel the texture of the old, old walls! Keep painting, I love to see your art!
    Thank you for visiting my blog and saying such lovely things!

  17. Nothing stops my girl! Like it and Italy does have lots of building colors, so this does fit in - maybe they'll see it and fix it up right as it should be right?
