Here is the finished Monaco Formula One artwork. This piece is poster-sized, 24"x36". I used the colours from my colour test as samples to create the larger image, which in turn was painted over my upsampled photobash of Monaco. Or put another way, I painted a big picture using a small picture as the source.
I've really been to Monaco, years ago. I remember the bright, sunny, vivid colours, and that it was powerfully expensive so we only stayed there for an hour or two. It seems so strange to me that people can live an a place like Monaco: with its wealth, royalty, and roguish mystique, I recall it being more like a fantasy playground for the world elite than a real community.
