Old bridge in England.

Hello everyone dear friends and welcome back to my blog.

Today I share with you my latest watercolor painting, the result of a commission requested by @joshman.

This is the link of the post, with which he requested my cooperation.

What to say about it?

It was an exciting job because a user I don't know personally entrusted me with a very specific task, namely to create a watercolor of a place that he visited a few years ago and which he cared a lot about.

Logically we organized ourselves on discord and I updated it with the sketches and the various steps of the realization of the painting.

For the occasion I used a particular type of Amalfi paper, made by hand, Amalfi is famous for its type of paper.

The watercolor is not very large because shipping would involve an increase in price, but it is still a decent job.

@ioshman liked it a lot and that pleased me immensely.

As a request from my client, I also publish the various steps in making the watercolor and I hope you like it.

A warm greeting.

Armando.

Ciao a tutti cari amici e ben tornati sul mio blog.

Oggi condivido con voi il mio ultimo dipinto ad acquarello frutto di una commissione richiestami da @joshman.

Questo è il link del post, con il quale ha richiesto la mia collaborazione.

Cosa dire a riguardo?

E' stato un lavoro entusiasmante perchè un utente che non conosco personalmente mi ha affidato un incarico molto preciso, ossia di realizzare un acquarello di un posto che lui ha visitato alcuni anni fa e al quale teneva molto.

Logicamente ci siamo organizzati su discord ed io l'ho aggiornato con gli schizzi e i vari steps della realizzazione del dipinto.

Per l'occasione ho usato un particolare tipo di carta di Amalfi, realizzata a mano, Amalfi è famosa per il suo tipo di carta.

L'acquarello non è molto grande perchè la spedizione comporterebbe un aggravio di prezzo, ma è comunque un discreto lavoro.

A @joshman è piaciuto molto e questo mi ha fatto immensamente piacere.

Come richiesta da parte del mio committente pubblico anche i vari passaggi della realizzazione dell'acquarello e spero che vi piaccia.

Un saluto caloroso.

Armando.

Wow,looks awesome! I can't wait until it arrives!

Hey, congrats on your new painting! I've been following this story and I wonder if you could tell us a little more about the bridge, in historical terms and (if you like) the personal meaning. Perhaps a follow-up post when you get the art? Greetings from Germany - Folker

Thanks, it was during my first trip to the UK to visit family with my mother. We visited Warwick Castle, and this bridge is nearby. I will absolutely be doing a follow-up post.

Hi Folker I don't know the story because the photograph belongs to Joshman, he gave me a link.

Yes, I understand that. Perhaps he'll share it with us.

thank you very much, I'm glad you like it, now the watercolor is in my studio and I'm around for a few days of vacation. As soon as I get back, I ship it to Oregon.

Sounds good, let me know the total in Hive when you are able.
