The color scheme and the style that you chose for this is incredible. I absolutely adore how you use the texture and the natural flow of the paint to create so much depth and field of vision. In this view especially (I'm not sure if "Write Critique" changes the crop, but it's changed to a landscape view now, which is definitely captivating. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="
I suppose I'm supposed to be a little critical for a "critique," but to be honest, I think it's very very good as it is. I can see this on display in a home, or at a workplace; definitely show-worthy material. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="
Wonderful job!

This is an amazing work of art, you can tell that lots of time was put into it. I have to say this is such a stunning work of art. Its some thing that makes you want to grab a canvas and paint what you are feeling, It shows great emotion, and its a wonderful mix of the Red Blue and gray, It is not so easy to mix those beautiful colors so amazingly. This work of art also tells many different stories, at times I see a calming café, or a carousel. I absolutely love this piece of work.

Wow! I have to say I am very impressed by this, when I look at it, I can see excellence. Look at the way the road sparkles with different colors of red and blue. I have to say this is very very excellent, I especially like the way the people look. I like that you painted the people like a black shadow with sparks of red and blue and it makes it more fantastic and impressive. I have never seen a painting as well done as this, I really like the way that you used red, and blue, white, and black.

Nice draftsmanship, and proportion. "Sparkle" of wet into wet rendering is well controlled, slightly muddied by intermingling with the black.
Sometimes you cover too much with single colors. Instead, in large fields of single color, try a transition from WARM to COOL. (Warms advance, cools recede) from true blue to blue violet, and from dull red orange to a vibrant red violet.
Even on rainy days, a few spots of brighter color can bring life to a gray work, bright umbrellas, or yellow plastic rain wear. (also could bring the far left into the composition with a repeated color there and on the far right)
Even if you mix only a tiny bit of the other temperature into your wet to wet transitions, it will bring depth and dimensionality to the "hollow" cool look that you have now.
Don't be discouraged by this, you are very close to where you want to be.
ALWAYS IGNORE THE RATING STARS - you're an artist, not a video game...
(I HAVE to click on stars or the comments won't reach you)
I hope this is helpful, 100 words is so few.

This piece evokes subtle emotions in the viewer. The soft hues of black on blue landscape stand in pleasant contrast with the warm red highlights on the café and people. The wet brush strokes on the bottom where the street is depicted and the dryer ones in the treetops also give the impression that rain just has fallen but the skies behind the Sorbonne itself with their greys and soft blues make it appear that the skies are clearing up again, which I particularly enjoy.
The red highlights in the café and the more liberal use of darker colour to the right give the picture a good one-corner-composition which I believe is always a good choice for a balanced and powerful picture.
The only few caveats I would have with the work itself would be that I think the diagonal that is created by the reflection of the Sorbonne that intersects with the curbstone gives a little to much weight to the centre of the actual picture when in reality the strength of one-corner-composition is to lead the viewer along a path that will eventually lead to the other "empty" side of the canvas in this case toward the Sorbonne itself, here however the gaze tends to get caught on the vanishing point.
Also looking at it I believe "Place de la Sorbonne, after the rain" would be more fitting a title.

I love how beautifly you made all the trees look as if they are like ghosts. The whole area i feel like you saw this in a dream through a looking gass much like Alice. The picture looks as iff Alice is looking back through her looking glass to see the world as if it was a mask on her beloved Wonderland. I mean.. this picture is just so pretty i cam only mach it with Alice in her Wonderland. The people in this picture loook as if they are trying to get somewhere. I just love the type of essence it has! It just kinda pops at ya. but not to harshly.

look, ill be completely honest and say that this piece is wonderfully fantastic!!! the colors blend together so very well. the way the blues and reds mix to create a purple that gives the scenery and people a feeling of sadness/sorrow/gloom. it really portrays that feeling you get when it rains and you start to feel blue. there is so much detail in this piece that you get the feel of what its like to be there. the color choice really sets the mood here. i like how the building in the background has a transparent look to it. its as if the people have forgotten about the beauty of the building and just go on with their lives. like i said i really like this piece. honestly i don't really see anything that i don't like or need to point out. sorry bout that.

Hi, I was wondering if I could use this in a project on the Sorbonne? This is a very beautiful painting, and I would credit you and even put a link to this deviation if you wanted me to. If not, that's okay. If you could reply before Monday, I'd be much obliged. I love your work and am amazed at how good you are with water colors

Oh yes: the restaurant scenes. Just love the wetness in your strokes. Do you use a palette knife too for the tree's branches? Just wondering.

I love your washes in this piece. The composition is strong and i love how you blurred objects out as they get further away. Also, what a interesting choice in colors.
