I had an absolute blast painting this from a photo we took on the Italy art retreat last year! It is so special to paint from your own reference photos because you can infuse the painting with the feeling you got while being there! You can find a real-time, fully narrated tutorial for this up now in Critique Club: lindsayweirich.teachable.com/p/critique-club along with over 170 other long, narrated art lessons! All for $7.50 a month! I hope to see you in the club!
