Watercolour painting of a quiet side street in the Italian city of Siena. The painting is reproduced from my own photo image I took in this beautiful city.
What makes the painting special is that the composition was made from the Frog Fork perspective. Also, the image has a strong depth-of-field effect.
First, this makes you feel as if the architecture is coming at you in a powerful way. You feel like a little mouse running down the alley.
And secondly, because the painting is realistically painted in watercolour on watercolour paper combined with acrylic paint.
The sunlight from above, the dark gate in the distance, the white window shutters, the dark underside of the walkway and the characteristic street lamps give this medieval street scene a mystical atmosphere.
In short, a beautiful eye-catcher for residential and business interiors for lovers of beautiful medieval Italian cities.
