| I did this several years ago, in my first serious painting class. It's of my sister in Venice. We both love the painting, but I have it hanging at my place as she is in a state of perpetual fixing and re-decorating. I don't mind - I love looking at it. :) It was SO much fun painting those old buildings. |

| This brings me to the dreaded bridge. I find I like painting it the same way I did those buildings in Venice, taking my time, wet-in-wet, leaving some edges here and there ... It may not be how the bridge really looks, but I think it gives it much more character. |

Oh my giddy aunt! I thought that was a photograph...you are fantastically brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteThe bridge is emerging as if from a sea mist.
I know what you mean about buildings ... they really are where my heart lies.
Still can't get over the Venice picture ...you genius!
Your sister's Venice is a masterpiece. The bridge is coming along. Sometimes you need to take them past that awkward adolescent stage. I think you could of pulled off any of these recent bridge starts. Sometimes you just need to bare down and drive on.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the patience to do all that layering in my paintings - I'm too slapdash with my art and just want to get it finished. Your Venice painting is fantastic, gorgeous colours in those buildings - makes me look forward even more to seeing the finished bridge
ReplyDeleteKathryn, you SO have a way with watercolor!
ReplyDeleteYour painting is spectacular!

ReplyDeleteThe Venice painting is fantastic! The colors in the buildings and the reflections in the water, and of course your sister!
