You know it's all "Greek" - or should I say "Italian" to me...being the resident non-artist in this wonderful group....<br /><br />But, I love what you were able to do.... it's breathtaking....<br />I mean it! And now, you will have something even more meaningful to remember your beautiful trip to Italy.<br /><br />BRAVA, Bella Mim!<br /><br />♥ Robin ♥Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247046205493711677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-2675617853010087692010-07-14T00:40:40.135-04:002010-07-14T00:40:40.135-04:00Beautiful Mim, i like them all.

But I say what ever works is good to do. The point is to have fun doing & it does help your brain to see better and eventually you can do it without. Keep up the great work.Cris, Artist in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067969984221375853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-34411697673709642692010-07-13T21:56:20.361-04:002010-07-13T21:56:20.361-04:00I've used grids before but it's been a lon...I've used grids before but it's been a long time. I'm usually pretty good and transferring without, however have had some difficult times where it would be helpful. Your paintings are wonderful, I love how all three are different yet the same view. That's what's so wonderful about watercolor!PAK ARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985770093478778520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-29474917549671579642010-07-13T21:24:44.444-04:002010-07-13T21:24:44.444-04:00yes the grid is little boxes on the photo and the ...yes the grid is little boxes on the photo and the same number - not always the same size - on the paper. it takes away the trouble with perspective...ah but then you have to paint it - and that ain't easy!!Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409455543895086283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-65652819413440379722010-07-13T21:02:17.383-04:002010-07-13T21:02:17.383-04:00are those typos! i mean ARE way cool. i had to cor...are those typos! i mean ARE way cool. i had to correct it. vanity insisted.<br /><br />:)kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-32879612930008274992010-07-13T21:01:11.043-04:002010-07-13T21:01:11.043-04:00amazing amazing amazing...

I think you got the mist great over the mts. as well. <br />The grid idea is interesting.<br /><br />Funny, my brother asked me if I traced my painting of the boys walking away. I was offended. I hadn't known that to be an okay thing to do...but still felt kind of proud that I had drawn well enough from my eye to paper for someone to wonder if it were traced. <br /><br />But maybe it's also okay!!!Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-27703673735620994452010-07-13T19:14:08.437-04:002010-07-13T19:14:08.437-04:00The middle one is gorgeous and would look just lov...The middle one is gorgeous and would look just lovely in my family room.

I think my photographer dad showed me that when I was a kid but I had forgotten about it till now. Probably would make life more simple. I love how your watercolors turned out! So you, yet so very much like the photo. <br /><br />P.S. My SIL just got back from two weeks in Italy and I haven't seen her photos yet. Yours are fantastic.Katiejanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703557560000189704noreply@blogger.com
