Burano Venice Italy is known for being the most colorful town in the world. I think I will be doing many more paintings of this town. The buildings look a little dirty and run down in my painting because that's the way it was in the reference. You can see I didn't keep exactly to the script. Please feel free to make suggestions for improvement.

Hi Terry
You are one amazing artist. When I read your comments regarding my soft pastel paintings, all I can say is you're too kind.

Very well done Terry! I Love the happy colors of this town!

 

[TerryCurley]

Thank you Steve and Susan, I really appreciate the encouragement.

Brilliant Terry. Well done indeed. If I had to make one small point I'd say try to pick the white up to pure in a couple of small areas, not all of it, just an odd highlight or two. That apart it.s great.

Jim.

Thank you Jim.

Nicely done work

I decided to wipe off the dark cloud. It was an after thought on the painting and I didn't think it looked good.

Terry you told me of this place in your reply to one of my earlier threads, so I looked it up, Wow this is a place I must visit. You have captured the feeling of the place with your beautiful painting. Well Done.

Steve :vs_clap::smile:

That's a Mediterranean sky now, much better. :wink:

 

[TerryCurley]

Thank you Jim, Steve, Stever. The reason I removed the dark cloud was because I realized there was no bright sunlight on the buildings or anywhere and I wanted to create a reason for that. But it didn't work. The original photo has a greyish sky. I should have been true to the photo in that respect.

 

[Liz]

It does look better. Nice work

 

[TerryCurley]

Thanks Liz and ABT.

 

[Susan Mulno]

It's perfect Terry! If you look at your sky now, it has a hazy look to it, that totally matches the brightness without direct sunlight.

 

[TerryCurley]

Thank you Susan.

This turned out great! What's the deal with wiping off the clouds? Was everything else dry?

Yes, everything else was dry. The clouds were an after thought and not a good one.

So you had no fear of wiping off the sky underneath?

I think the first time I did something like that I had a fear but it worked out perfectly and I never have been afraid to do it since. I'm guessing you didn't try wiping off the purple ocean for fear of ruining it?
