Comment by Ningning Li on May 25, 2013 at 17:33: Very well done, your drawing are nice and detailed and your colour combination is very natural. the concret feet can have more shadow on them. Silvana. I admire your persistence of study. I seldom paint the same scene twice not mention three times. This is a very good way to learn and improve.

Comment by Silvana M Albano on May 25, 2013 at 9:41: Thank you Lori and Dor! Jessica, thx, this one was really difficult... at least for me! Ann, I am realy thankful there is a great group of open hearted and teachers around at this blog! All advice will always be welcome, and I feel that I am learning all the time, by following each of the comments written for each painting! I think that I'm changing the slogan to HAPPY PAINTING AND HAPPY LEARNING!!!!!!

Comment by Ann Turner on May 20, 2013 at 17:50: Great job of implementing all the advice that you received on this one. It is very well done and we have all learned alot. Happy Painting to you !

Comment by Jessica Futerman on May 19, 2013 at 20:07: This is wonderful, Silvana! Lovely clear colour in the water & I really like the reflections under the boats. You've pushed the back building into the distance very convincingly. Nice lead-in with the rocks too!

Comment by Dorian Aronson on May 19, 2013 at 19:15: I am delighted to see your beautifully painted Harbor! Good job! Smiles coming you way : ))

Comment by Lori Ippolito on May 19, 2013 at 16:38: Very nicely painted Silvana!! I especially like that back bldg and boats!!

Comment by Silvana M Albano on May 19, 2013 at 8:32: Thank you Michae! Really tried! Read carefully, and once and again everything you have suggested. I also tried to take into account all the other suggestions from the other painting included in this Workshop... blurred horizon, soft edges in the back building, some of the building's colour in the water as Lori suggested, straight roof...!!!(Jessica, I have realized I make that mistake very often... if it is not the roof , it is a wall!).. I also tried to differentiate the back building's roof from its walls as David pointed out, and Stu, took into account to lighten it where the sun hit, though it i not so light in this one! To all of you, Thank you!

Comment by Silvana M Albano on May 19, 2013 at 8:32: Thank you Zibeth! Perhaps one really puts the state of mood into the painting... !!! Perhaps I have to be mad and angry before painting those cumulonimbus..., that's why the cirrus didn't come out so bad! I appreciate your encouragement!

Comment by Michael J. Severin on May 19, 2013 at 6:04: Hey Silvana, I agree with Zibeth!!! ...really like this one. I am happy to see that you did not overplay the dark windows on the top floor!! ..very nicely related to the painting. The bottom of the pier looks 3 dimensional and flat!! ..great! You have alternated the sizes of the red panels ...your water, reflections, and shadow under the pier are done very nicely.

Comment by Zibeth Coetzee on May 19, 2013 at 3:02: I do like this painting very much. There is something in this painting which you seem to have grasped and understand now, which I somehow miss in your previous work. Well done! I must add, all your work has a sense of tranquillity in them, which I like. I think that is why the painting with the clouds is giving you such a hard time.
