La Fontana di Trevi




17 febbraio, 2009

Having had a couple of relatively unproductive days, I took advantage of some warmish weather and sat at the Trevi Fountain for a couple of hours.  I made two watercolor sketches, and returned after dark to do a third.  Painting at night is interesting, because there is such a color distortion...I
 had no idea what my sketch looked like until I got home. The fountain is gorgeous at night; it's lit from below, as well as from under the water.

These sketchbook spreads are in chronological order, and focus on different aspects of the Trevi.
