Here is the beginning of a painting from a photograph that I took of Mama Agata's terrace in Ravelo, Italy. We took a cooking class with our group of friends at Mama Agata's home which overlooked the Amalfi Coast. The day of cooking was amazing as was all the scenery in the Amalfi area. Rich, soft color everywhere. it was hard to tell where the ocean ends and the sky begins. This watercolor is done on a half sheet of Arches paper that I did a horizontal gradient wash on first to establish a good rich underpainting. The colors will become richer and deeper as I continue to add washes of color.
