Sofia

These are two scenes from Sofia, the city where I grew up. The park in front of the main building of the Sofia University is done by a sketch that I did on site a few years ago. I added more figures to liven up the scene. The other one is based on a photo. 

I am so eager to do city scenes now, knowing how to simplify and complete them in less than an hour. I'm going through my photos from previous trips and picking scenes with nice light and shadows.

    You have captured light beautifully in both the works. However the second one is my favourite. Great job.

    The shadows in both paintings are great, and make the scenes beautiful and strong! P.S. Paintings are in the mail!

    Hi Blaga, I have to say that Alvaro lessons are giving their fruits, both paintings are very beautiful. I like the presence of the peoples in your compositions and the strong contrast too. Ciao!

    I see that you are using the things you learned from the workshop of Alvaro. Thes two are lovely. My favourite is the first one, but I like both. Great light and very nice painted people.

    These cityscapes are really well painted, without being overworked.
