I haven't even finished blocking in colors yet on this big boy. This is a landscape that my niece and her husband took on their honeymoon in Italy this summer. Joe is a great photographer and they were nice enough to share all 600 images with me! This picture is quite complicated and should take me a while to finish. You have to begin somewhere!
"Phooie," I thought I had this cropped correctly but when I retrieved it ---------- it wasn't cropped! I have worked hard on this Google picture because I want to visit Florence some day. I'll have to bring the actual pic from the studio so I can download it on to the Virtual Paintout website properly (with the name of the road and all). I used my pallet knife and a brush to do this one. Using my knife is fun but is definitely not exact. It worked out well on this painting because it was a landscape. I'm pleased with the results!
