Amsterdam by Tessa Gwynne

Love those buildings Tessa a great painting.

This is really good Tessa.

This is great Tessa and a wonderful memory for your granddaughter to remind her of her trip.

Looks great. No doubt where it is. 🍻🌷

I like the way you’ve achieved the water reflections.

Very effective, Tessa, especially the water, I love pen and wash.

Your granddaughter must have been delighted with her painting Tessa. Love how you have painted the reflections in the water.

Thank you all for your very welcome comments. She hasn’t had it yet so you are having a sneak preview! Only finished earlier today, I will pass it on later in the week. 🙏

Well done Tessa, particularly in the treatment of the water...as others have said.

I agree with all the comments, lovely work !!

Fabulous painting Tessa - not so easy to do well and you have!

Instantly recognisable as Amsterdam and such a vibrant sketch

Lovely image, Tessa

It's a terrific painting Tessa, I wouldn't know where to start on something like this.

This feels like a contemporary tribute to the city's legacy. It has that sophisticated, poster-like quality that makes the viewer see Amsterdam in a whole new light.

The water reflections have worked very well

You have done a fantastic job Tessa, lovely work

Thank you all so much! I wasn’t at all sure how to tackle this as it had to be small enough for the journal and suitable to stick in.

A terrific result Tessa. Love the movement in the water.

Thanks Fiona.
