Tuscany landscape painting

Tuscan Hill Town pastel by Niki Gulley

September 15, 2010

Pastel 12” x 9”

Yesterday we visited the medieval walled city of Sienna in Italy. I love the cobbled streets and stone architecture of the buildings, and watching the world go by in the town square with a gelato just like the locals. Pastels are the perfect medium for capturing a quick sketch of the cobbled alleyway filled with dramatic light and unique shadows.

“Amapola,” Tuscany by Niki Gulley
11″ x 14″ pastel â€¢ sold

Driving south of Florence through Tuscany, you’ll see vast fields of red poppies carpeting the Italian landscape. Not only are the crimson masses beautiful, but the contrast of the vivid reds against the emerald greens of the rolling Tuscan hills is so dynamic, that I had to paint it!

If you’d like to join us this September on our plein-air painting / photography workshop in Tuscany, let me know. We have just 2 spots left!
