You are defying convention successfully here Grandpa which says don’t use too much green in a scene. Your clever use of complementary reds beautifully counteract this leading the eye around the scene. A great one. Be honest – this is Dzana isn’t it?

Enjoy Italy. Wish I was there drawing with you.

Thank you Bob and Marty. You’re right Bob – it’s too green and didn’t make it to the wall or framing. It is done on Canson w/c CP paper 200g. I did watercolour on it before (another sketch) and it was no good for it. I tried coloured pencils Derwent Studio (on this one) then and it was even worse. I tried to rescue it by Schmincke w/c and the result is here. Still not happy though…
Marty – this is Sarajevo in Bosnia and the church is devoted to St Antony of Padua. Last year I visited Padua and his church there (where he’s buried). And Bob, that is where I saw that Donatello’s horseman which I mention a couple of days ago when you had “horseman” post.
