This is a wedding gift commission for a Canadian customer. The original idea was to depict several places and important dates which were part of their lives until the wedding date.
After a lot of sketches and ideas, we reached an interesting result. Bellow is the final painting.

Work in Progress with Watercolors

This painting is a result from a online workshop taken on WetCanvas, under the figure channel (link here).
The workshop´s objective was to create a fair decent figure painting based on photographies provided by channel moderator, so artists could represent them using their media of choice. Very nice works under these workshops in a great amount of techniques explained.
This is my attempt with watercolors. Bellow you will find my step by step process.
