I decided to make time to take part in the Virtual Paintout again. This is a fun project by Bill Guffey where he chooses a destination and then we use google maps to find views to paint. This month it’s Amsterdam.
It was quite near the end of the month when I started, so I decided to focus on something fun rather than strictly accurate. I’ve done some messy gesso in the background on a piece of blue paper. I used paint pens and only slightly exaggerated the tilt of the buildings.
I wanted something a little bonkers to reflect the feeling of Amsterdam which is full of fun surprises. For example a museum of Fluorescent Art or tiny houses in a crack between two buildings.
Great post 😁
Beautiful tourism destination.
I remember in Amsterdam, the building very like those in your picture, that we stayed in rocked! Very unsettling feeling…so I think your painting us perfect. It ‘rocks’!
Correction – Is perfect not us perfect – sorry.
I love the painting, it’s one of the funkiest I’ve seen of Amsterdam and the colorful houses have been an inspiration to many 🙂
Thanks 🙂
