Painting....
« on: April 10, 2013, 02:52:46 pm »
Okay guys this is probably going to be the only painting I ever post but I am just curious about it. I cant read the sig on it though. Can anyone tell me who painted it?

It looks like a watercolor of a city in Europe. It may be a litho or a souvenir print. Have you looked at it with a loop or glass? It is impossible for me to tell in the picture. The horse and buggy and electric light bulb would date it in the early 20th century I would think.

Is that the Quebec Post Office in the background?

Your painting looks more like it's from the 1960s.

Sorry to say that it doesn't seem too well executed to me. :(

cmlindb really nailed this one with after Rauville recognized it. I think it is a print after a painting. Probably sold to tourists. Look for the telltale little dots in the color.

The original looks like a combination of pen and ink, watercolor and gesso ( white parts) !!  I have seen similar but can`t remember who it was !!

Hmmm I am very inexperienced with art but it looks like someone painted this. At least the white does.

You,re probably correct,when you say someone painted this.....it was when they pushed the button of the printing machine...then afterwards, a few brush strokes are added...for realism... ;D ;D

God, that's really bad. A print with heightened white / body colour and it looks like they've been in an earthquake looking at the brush strokes !  ;D

Haha You guys are rude, it probably took some person a whole 4 minutes to paint that white part and try to sell it to some sucker thinking it was something special. I am going to make sure I take extra special care when I put this special piece in the bag of crap I'm donating.

Take a close up of the paper !!  Using gesso like that is pretty common for some water colorists to add texture to a flat painting !!  I agree it looks 60ish !!
