Il Nonno

Last week our instructor Charlene Collins Freeman finished “Il Nonno,” a 15” x 22” watercolor. Il nonno means grandfather in Italian and this image is of her father gardening with her niece, Emma. Along with her mother and brother, they live in northern Italy. And due to the quarantine we are all living under, they haven’t seen each other in close to a month.

The painting took Charlene about four hours, from drawing to finished piece. She took a video of the entire process and sped it up to about 40 minutes. If you are interested in learning about how this painting came together, check out her video.

Stay safe and stay strong!
