The streets of Florence are about as narrow as they come, with endless mazes of sardine-packed, pastel-colored buildings that just may have been delivered here from Hogsmeade. The blocky orientation of the city lends itself quite well to "blocking in" painting exercises on the ol' iPad---essentially, laying down the main colors of a painting before getting too immersed in detail work. Here are a number of quick color studies I've done over the past few days of Florence's ever-interesting skyline compositions (all done in the Brushes).
Each painting took roughly twenty minutes to an hour---a little too long for the blocking in stage, but hopefully I'll get quicker with a little more practice.
