Beautiful street scene Fred, nice shadows and sunlight

I like your style, very light and airy.

the under coat of orange was a good choice. The warmth glows through. Can I ask what make of acrylics you use?

This is a beautiful painting, Fred. I love the composition and the sunlight on the buildings. Well done!

This is just super, Fred. I was just thinking that it's been a while since you posted one of your travel paintings! This is beautifully done, with superb light, atmosphere and color. And you've certainly captured the feel of Sorrento here. Well done!

Thank you all for your wonderful comments, I'm chuffed to bits, and if England win to-night I'll have a double gin and tonic! And Tony I use System 3 Acylics. I started of with those and have found no reason to change them.

It's beautiful Fred. Jx

I think it works to Fred , well done.

Thanks Fred. I use Galaria, and see every reason to change (they are pretty awful). Experimenting with chroma at the moment.

This is my favourite,Fred.I love the way the orange pops through the cool purples and blues

This is a side street in Sorrento which I have been struggling with for for the last week or so . I primed it with cadmium orange, and have left some showing through, I think it works! Acrylic on canvas. 23x16in.
