Ancona, Italy, 15" x 11".
A city gate in the old part of Ancona, Italy. This was a good exercise in many watercolour techniques - 1) the initial wash and leaving out part of the road surface by painting with the side of a mop brush, 2) wet in wet areas in the shadows 3) softening edges with a brush and clear water (the foreground shadow) 4) negative painting around figures and the car, and 5) using a bit of body paint for figure details and the no entry sign.
