Remembering Italy

I decided to give myself a break from chores and errands this weekend, and paint a photo I took in Italy. This particular project was chosen based on colors I wanted to try out from my Daniel Smith Watercolor Sheets (some new tubes will probably shortly join my collection). Dr. Ph Martin's Concentrated Watercolors were added to the mix to push the darks more than the average watercolors. I originally bought them for costume design in college! I used a pen for the really small details. I'm pleased with the result!
