sunny day on San Domino__watercolor /// giornata di sole su san Domino__acquarello -5 steps of the painting (Eng-Ita)steemCreated with Sketch.

in painting •  6 years ago 

Good morning to all dear Cryptonian friends.
Today, from Crypton I go down to Earth and I'm going to introduce you to a watercolor that I painted in San Domino, a marvelous island of the group of the Tremiti islands, in the Ionian Sea.
More than coming down, I had to climb up the cliff to try to represent this wonderful glimpse of a Cala called Matana.
As you can see from the photos (if you have the foresight to follow my post), I am taller than 50 meters above sea level and in a position not really convenient, but for the love of art you can do this easily .
I show you the various steps where I pass from drawing to painting the first veils with watercolors up to delineate shadows with violet and cobalt blue.
Very particular is the color of the green sea, obtained with the cerulean blue and the lemon yellow.
The day was extremely bright and I painted the work in about 2 hours, then I went for two or three dives to regenerate.
I hope you enjoy your work and that my report has been exhaustive.
A virtual hug and a greeting wet with sea water, see you next time!

P.S. the photo is my property;)))



Buongiorno a tutti cari amici cryptoniani.
Oggi, da Crypton scendo sulla Terra e precosamente vado a presentarvi un acquarello che ho dipinto a San Domino un'isola meravigliosa del gruppo delle isole Tremiti, nel mar Ionio.
Più che sceso giuù, sono dovuto salire verso l'alto della scogliera per tentare di rappresentare questo meraviglioso scorcio di una Cala chiamata Matana.
Come potete vedere dalle fotografie (se avete l'accortezza di seguire il mio post), sono più alto di circa 50 metri dal livello del mare e in una posizione non proprio comoda, ma per l'amore dell'arte si può fare questo facilmente.
Vi mostro i vari passaggi dove passo dal disegno al dipingere le prime velature con acquarelli fino a delineare le ombre con il violetto e il blu cobalto.
Molto particolare è il colore del mare verde, ottenuto con il blu ceruleo e il giallo limone.
La giornata era estremamente luminosa e ho dipinto il lavoro in circa 2 ore, poi sono andato a fare due o tre tuffi per rigenerarmi.
Spero che il lavoro vi piaccia e che il mio resoconto sia stato esaustivo.
Un abbraccio virtuale ed un saluto bagnato di acqua marina, alla prossima!

P.S. la foto è di mia proprietà ;)))

It is truly a dedication to art that you climbed up all the way up there to take a photo and then painted the scene that you captured. Well done, Armando, you are truly gifted with watercolour.

thanks @scrawly for your insideful comment;-)))

Hi @armandosodano, another marvelous drawing of yours. I enjoyed your drawing very much although i am not an artist. Your beautiful drawings always attract my attention. I actually glance through your art first before read what you wrote (guilty as charge)I especially like the sea, you have painted it so naturally.You are fast with such a scene able to complete in 2 hours. Please share more of your art work.

ty for your nice comment @oliviackl

Very beautiful painting, @armandosodano! Well done!

thanks @trincowski!

Mamma mia, che meraviglia! Watercolor paintings are fascinating, can't explain why but I'm always drawn to them. I thought it would be a great idea to start painting but had to learn it's not for me.
This is why I have a great respect for those who can create gorgeous artwork like this. Knowing that you did this at a scene, that there is a place like in the painting, makes it even valuable for me! The colors are perfect, it would decorate my wall perfectly! Great job!

grazie mille for your nice comment @erikah!

thank you for comment @zanetaviz

You are most kindly welcome! :)

Hi Armando!
How long years have you been painting?
This is your finished product right?

I think that is his photograph that he used as model of his painting. I think this is his final result. 😊
20180908_122428.jpg

ah ah too kind thank you @macoolette

You're welcome.

Oh yeah!
I guess Armando didn't quite get the question.
Anyways, thanks @macoolette!
By the way what's your name?

No offense kabayan pero tingin ko naintindihan niya yong tanong mo. Ayaw lang niyang sumagot kasi ikaw ang di nakaintindi ng post niya. Yong sagot niya sa isang tanong ko, parang sinasabi "kung binasa mong mabuti..." 😃 Peace!

Ah okay. No worries. Hindi man niya pinaliwanag sakin e hindi naman ako matalino kasi hehe, tagal kong maka intindi.
Anyways, yung tanung ko hindi mo man sinagot kabayan lol

from 50 years...yes this place is my love! @ronel

That's great Armando!
Its quite very obvious, the place is beautiful and serene.
How old are you then?

55 years old

Oh, not that old. Still young and kicking!
I'm 43 but looks 60 lol

How I wish to go to Italia and then to Roma, then to Vaticano and meet with Papa. Have you done that all Armando?

I often go to Rome but not to meet the Pope only for visite monument and exibitions...

That's so much fun!
Do you have a post/blog on your visits at Rome?
It would be exciting to see those monuments and exhibitions Armando.
I'm eager to see those photos!

Complimenti veramente @armandosodano!

grazie mille @phage93

Spero tu sia riuscito a farti un bel bagno: mi sembra che quell'acqua sia molto bella.
Il quadro come sempre è molto suggestivo.
La mia domanda: ma questi dipinti che fai, li vendi, li fai su commissione, li regali?

Posted using Partiko Android

grazie Guido nonché @moncia90 rispondo alle tue domande: il 90% li dipingo per esposizioni, mostre ed un'esposizione permanente che ho nel mio studio d'arte a Terracina, il 10% circa su commissione ed il 100% sono in vendita, ma molti sono già venduti (meno male). Non regalo più i miei quadri, di solito, talvolta ad un caro amico o per una occasione importante. Buona giornata Ing.

So, so pretty @armandosodano! Just like the abandoned house, you did a great work on this one. I like how you interpreted the colours from the photo to the painting and it is so good that you get to dive a couple of times to regenerate. The sea is gorgeous! Thank you again @armandosodano for sharing your art with us.

ty for your nice commnet @marblely

:) A good weekend to you @armandosodano.

That’s a real talent right there! Nice work

ty for comment @martinhadameme

Amazing view maestro @armandosodano

ty Maestro @luciannagy

The finished product looks so cool. I like your choice of color especially when you made the leaves of the trees have a little shade of yellow. Its brighter contrast with the blue ocean makes the painting livelier.

Did you paint this on site? How long did it take you to finish it?

yes if you read my description you understand @macoolette

Oh yes, I missed that part. Do you often go out like this and paint by purpose? Or does painting just pop in at random?

it's always with me! i love Arts

Yes, it is better to have your materials ready all the time so you can draw even when unexpected opportunity suddenly pops up. Good going!
