So officially here are my last WIP pics #18 from today and 17 from yesterday. And a better photo today.   I worked most of the day on fine detail bits all over the painting.  Did more work on Foliage, boats, cement wall, and some shadowing a little all over.   I Just need to finish a bit more shading and my water and it will be done. Have a great evening everyone

And started added some balconies..first phase..they still need to be outlined in some light grey/and dark.

Manarola WIP Continues

Hi Everyone, finally back working in my studio on my Manarola painting.   Did quite a bit of intensive fine brush work the past two days,  I  outlined all the buildings, etc and added the window sills to all the windows, a time consuming part but happy that's done.  Will be moving on with some shadowing and colour tones to the buildings next.   Still lots more work to do, I figure another 15 + hours.

Manarola WIP 7 contines

Hi Everyone, lots more work done to my painting since I last posted. Worked on foreground, nearly completed, added second coat of colour to the buildings, and the worse part that takes so long, blocking in the window spaces.   Next I will start outlining the buildings, then adding the window outlines for the window sills and shadowing to them (they will be all a tad smaller). Also will try ad complete foreground, and cement walls, boats, etc.   Still lots of work to be done
