#131 Travel By Art, Ep. 6: The Sunset in Monza, Italy (Watercolor Landscape Tutorial)

Michael Solovyev. The Sunset in Monza, Italy. From the photo made by Maria Grazia. @DANIELSMITHArtistColor watercolor paints on Saunders Waterford Rough paper, 22 x 15 inches. Today we travel to beautiful Italy, to the town of Monza, some 10 km from Milan. Here is a description from the author of the photo, Maria Grazia: “The town is known all over in the world because of the F1 Grand Prix held in September. The racetrack is inside the city park which is one of the greatest in Europe. Worth a visit are the Duomo and the palace called Villa Reale, too. The picture shows a cycle/walk lane my husband, a commuter, used to travel along by bike to reach the office, 20 km away, every day, all season. During the weekend it is very crowded.“ We are starting a new project, Travel by Art, where you can submit your photographs for a chance for them to become watercolors!
