Quick sketch from Cortona
June 12, 2015
Updated with a proper scan now that we’re home. This is a typical street view in the old village of Cortona. You can’t help but make sun-drenched sketches in this town – it is after all the inspiration for Under The Tuscan Sun. (The novel, and the film).

Woooooooow! Love the warm light in your painting, the colors are so lovely…can you tell me which ones you have used ? I will be looking at it again and again… Thanks
There’s a photo of this palette with color names here : https://citizensketcher.wordpress.com/2015/04/10/24-color-full-spectrum-paint-box/
it is pretty fun to use here in Italy!
i’m enjoying having a Red Oxide a lot – for those roof tiles.
Just tried to copy one of your sketches… Not even close! Ha-ha. Will try more. Want to learn from masters! :-)
Beautiful perspective in the composition. I can feel the sun beating down.
Awwwwwesommmmme painting….with beautiful colours…..i really like it.
this is very nice and beautiful..I LIKE IT
Amazingly fresh and vibrant. Excellent sketch. Makes me want to go to Cortona and sketch too! Looks like you did this piece with watercolor only, is this correct?
yes, I had a little more time, so painted it all on location – there’s a little pencil drawing in places – just to map out the forms.
I really like the work you do without the inking. Wonderful atmosphere.
Wow, this is gorgeous! So vibrant!
Brilliant <3
