Here is the the painting pic I took inside on the floor with a big light overhead and it is purple - much more like the real painting.

"Amore" Linda e Andre
Well, the more I looked at the pot, I did not like it at all. We can see zebra patterns but it just did not sit right for me, so I whited it all out and then did some practice on a print out of my painting and I like the stripes much better like this. I will have to put another coat of white and then do the stripes. It is great to take pictures of our work and do these WIPs because you can really see what's going on.
A little close up of the cute beach chair:
Thanks for all your help and comments about my painting.
Just did a thin outline with a 0 brush and some paynes grey. Need to add the stripes on my beach towel and some scrubbing of lights and dark. Just about done.
Darkened the water and the sky a bit more and added stripes to my towel and a little more lights all over.Yesterday's Work
Up bright and early this morning with fresh eyes, I whited out the parts I no longer required, and then I used some left over white and pathlo blue to cover a coat over the water and then
I drew in the components I now wanted in the painting. Off to add some colour. I am very happy with the composition now.
Hi again...Moving along and laid out colour scheme and pretty much blocked in all the colour for most of the components. Looking a little muddy right because of my lines underneath, but a few more coats will do the trick. Back to the easel.
The Frame
Then painted over with some water and acrylic
I am happy to announce that I finished my Venice painting, 50 x 60 cm done in acrylics. I absolutely loved Venice; it is a beautiful place with so much to see and its wonderful buildings and colours inspired me to do this painting. I enjoyed working on this colourful painting. Thanks for viewing my WIP.
