Painting Demonstration - From the Piazza del Campidoglio, Rome

Hello Everyone,

+This is a start-to-finish watercolor painting demonstration in real-time. In this video, I cover intention, interpretation, design, formatting, composition, values, drawing, perspective, etc. I also go into a bit more depth on topics such as solid and void, positive and negative shapes, the natural vs. the built environment, and tips on painting skies, trees, and figures.

+The scene is in Rome - looking away from Michaelangelo's iconic Piazza del Campidoglio - toward the cordonata - the gently sloping stairway leading into and away from the great space .

Thanks for watching!
Tom
