About the Painting:
Name: Prague 3
Medium: Watercolor on Fabriano 140# professional paper
Size: 7×5″
I have painted this scene a few times with minor variations. I just love the way the street looks and draws you into the painting, seeing people and buildings in the distance. Makes me curious as to what is around the corner.
My process: I started with the blue building in the background, using Thalo Blue and Cobalt. Moved forward to the roof tops, then proceeded down, adding people last. It was a pretty straight forward painting process, hitting the areas with direct paint and getting the strong color down the first time. After it dried, I went back in only in the smallest areas that needed an extra dark for dimension. I darkened the front sides of the buildings, in essence creating a “door” to look through into the back of the painting, glazing with Thalo Blue with touches of dropped in colors here and there. Colors used were, Quin. Burnt Scarlet, Raw Sienna, Cobalt Blue, Thalo Blue, Alizarin Crimson and Cadmium Red Light.
