Via Arenula, Rome, 5×7

A city street scene in Rome, along the Via Arenula, which is the street that takes you into the busy part of town if you’re coming across the Ponte Garibaldi from the Trastevere neighborhood. Although I painted this one from a photo, I tried as much as possible to keep the spirit of a street sketch–quick ink lines, loose structure, bright splashes of color, a few highlights with a white paint pen. This is very much what I would’ve done on-site if I’d been standing on the street, leaning against a lamppost with my sketchbook.

This is watercolor and ink, drawn with a dip pen. The paper is high-quality 140 lb watercolor paper measuring 7×10 inches.

Paintings are signed on the back in pencil. Some of my paintings are done on-site, which means that the paper may have slight scuffs or very minor blemishes around the edges or on the back. That’s just part of the process of working outdoors.
