Side street in Siena - Italy | Watercolour painting Handmade

Watercolour painting of a quiet side street in the Italian city of Siena. The painting is reproduced from my own photo image I took in this beautiful city.

What makes the painting special is that the composition was made from the Frog Fork perspective. Also, the image has a strong depth-of-field effect.
First, this makes you feel as if the architecture is coming at you in a powerful way. You feel like a little mouse running down the alley.
And secondly, because the painting is realistically painted in watercolour on watercolour paper combined with acrylic paint.
The sunlight from above, the dark gate in the distance, the white window shutters, the dark underside of the walkway and the characteristic street lamps give this medieval street scene a mystical atmosphere.

In short, a beautiful eye-catcher for residential and business interiors for lovers of beautiful medieval Italian cities.

WatercolorWall is a studio where hand-painted watercolors are made. The person behind the studio is Ricardo Bouman, a graphic designer, photographer and painter with a passion for (far) travel and discovering (mountain) landscapes, cities and architecture.

Ricardo has been painting with watercolors for over 25 years and translates his own travel experiences into paintings. His webshop offers various subjects such as: Illustrative realism, Line drawings, Impressionism, Line & Wash and Modern Abstract painting.

Ricardo is a traditional illustrator and painter. He therefore does not use 'Ai' (artificial intelligence). All his works are handmade and created from his own (travel) experiences, ideas and expertise in the field of painting. His subjects often have a connection with nature, an emotion or a (city) location that he has visited himself.
His motto is: 'To be able to create atmosphere, you must first have tasted it'

Ricardo does everything in a traditional way. From stretching the watercolor paper, sketching and drawing the composition and subject, to painting with watercolors and inks.

All paintings are photographed in high resolution and available in this webshop as wall decoration on various materials and sizes.
