Strassbourg – France

[Hans van Aartsen]

The attached watercolor was based on one of the many photographs I took in Strassbourg last year. The size is 30 * 40 cm. Comments as usual appreciated.

Thanks for passing by.

An interesting scene Hans, I’ll delete the duplicate threads.

Very nicely painted… an interesting scene..well done.

Lovely painting of a beautiful city. We visited Strassbourg many, many years ago.

Nice work! That view is one of the most known there, from a bridge near the museum of modern art. By a pure coincidence I have two nearly identical photos done on vacations with 9 years apart, standing maybe 10 meters to the left from where you were. Tried that in oil, was not to my satisfaction, will try again.

I like it but I hate to say it but it looks like it was done from a photo.  It has that photo quality.  Have you tried doing en plein air?
