These were painted on site. We found high places in Florence for amazing views. Having time to sit and paint was a great way to experience Italy and rejuvenate. It was a wonderful contrast to all of the crowded museums and mass transportation.
The top painting was done with a micron pen and watercolor while the bottom was just plain watercolor. I'm still trying to get the hang of the layering process of watercolor. It really makes a difference to let areas dry before adding details. It creates a more translucent affect with crisp edges to contrast with the more "flowey" areas. I think I just made up a word.
