Okay please, please keep in mind that the items that I paint are not my ideas, I just do what the people I am painting for pay me to do. I dont particularly like the colliseum and the leaning tower together, it just doesnt work for me especially considering they are in two totally different parts of Italy but here ya go, this is the process, mostly. I was okay with the end product but learned ALOT! from this job. ANd ALOT! about scaffelding. Fun times let me tell ya. Enjoy.
The beginning
Sunrise
Sketching on the buildings and the shadows
Okay the green is a long story but in short the guy didnt want to buy the paint I told him I needed so I tried to mix teh blue and yellow's I had, needless to say it was HORRIBLE!~ But keep going it gets fixed because I told him I wouldnt finish it unless he got me the paint I told him I needed before I even started the job.
He wanted it to say italy somewhere and he wanted a horse and carridge for this guy that works for him that actually leaved in Italy and had a farm and vineyard. Once he bought me the green it all came together. :D
This is the other wall and the happiness for me in this project :D It is of a canal in Venice, LOVE! So going there some day.
Note to self on this flag, it is supposed to be blowing in the wind. Hence the reason there is a fold where the whiteoverlaps the green. He had to complain abou teverything and the last thing he came up with was the flag looks weird. At that point, after no bathrrom for a 14 hour day, no AC, working on scaffelding, no paint, him being late twice and then rescheduling at the very freaking end of the day of me waiting for him I was not really caring. I didnt charge him enough for what I painted to begin with and then he was a jerk. Note to self put a jerk clause on the contract from now on. And the finished beautifulness. :D Sorry the pics are weird but it was up high.
Hope you enjoyed
