Old Dutch buildings

My dad loves his old Dutch buildings. And being a draughtsman loves his perspective. So he copied this painting off a calender and handed it to me to paint. I was horrified but gave it a go. There are things wrong but I don't want to wrestle with it anymore.

Comment by Annie Dalton on December 23, 2012 at 15:23: I wonder if anyone knows how difficult it is to get buildings right? I've painted street scenes but I find them... difficult. *smile* The buildings and all look great. Textures are a bit troubling for me but again you've done a fine job of those too. Well done.

Comment by Helen Tyralik on December 22, 2012 at 21:20: Love it, perspective looks fine and detail is well done, good one.

Comment by Cheryl Lipham on December 22, 2012 at 12:27: I think you did a great job! The depth, shadowing/highlights are very convincing. Very nice figures also!
