Good morning!

What size canvas do you recommend for this painting?

 

[nolan]

I painted mine on a 16" x 20" canvas, but you are welcome to go larger

Hello,

I didn't want to continue with the veranda (top left) until i fixed it.  Please let me know if i should paint over it to correct the angle, or how I should proceed to correct it.

Thank you! 

[nolan]

the painting is coming along nicely

The quickest and easiest fix for the incorrect pergola pole angles is to add more vine to it so that you only have a few bits of pole showing through here and there

Finally finished my Tuscan Landscape!  I had a lot of fun and a lot of days and nights of stretching!  I look forward to learning more and painting more. 

Thank you for your wonderful instruction Nolan.  I appreciate any feedback.

You have done a great job Alice, well done

I do however find that the colour used for the distant villa, near mountain and path are too close to each other. Leave the painting to dry, then use a colour wash or glaze to change at least the path colour by using raw umber and white so it becomes more grey

Thank you Nolan! I greatly appreciate your feedback and I look forward to taking additional classes to learn more about color mixing, etc. You are a great teacher.
