WIP Update Today of my Cinque Terre painting

Hi everyone, Another busy day...Started defining some area of the painting. Trees on hilltop, stone wall - forefront, also adding more colours to the boats. and some lights to the windows. Its coming along smoothly. I am really enjoying this painting. My recent trip to Italy and Cinque Terre was well worth my visit. I am full of inspiration. I am totally back on the streets of Riomaggiore as I paint this one. I think I might even finish it by weekend. Thanks for watching my wip. Have a great night.

WIP Update #4 - Cinque Terre Painting

Hi Everyone, hope you all had a nice weekend. I had my parents and my aunt from Montreal for a visit. We had a lovely bbq and a great time. The weather here was fabulous on Saturday. Still feeling like summer - so that's great.

Yesterday I worked on my painting and blocked another coat of colour all over. Added colour and some white to the boats and touched up the cement walls in front. Will now begin adding definition to the buildings, etc. I am now at the fun part of the painting. Have a great day everyone. Back to the studio - hoping to put in a few more hours this afternoon.
