In April, the themes for the virtual paintout are the Canary Islands in Spain. Every participant must use a view found through Google Street View as the reference for the painting or drawing. I found my motif near San Agustín, Gran Canaria.
Although I share the opinion of some people who are sceptical regarding google street view in general, I have to admit that it can be a fantastic tool for artists.
Im April haben wir beim Virtual Paintout Blog das Thema "Kanarische Inseln". Jeder Teilnehmer muß ein Motiv benutzen, das er durch Google Street View gefunden hat. Ich fand meines in der Nähe von San Agustín, Gran Canaria.
Obwohl ich die Auffassung vieler Menschen teile, die Google Street View gegenüber sehr skeptisch sind, muß ich zugeben, daß es für Künstler äußerst nützlich sein kann.

I like your view of the islands very much. Its just amazing how we all see such different things from such a small place.
Your choice of colours capture the warmth and heat of summer days perfectly. I also enjoy that the cloud edges compliment the palm leaf edges.
I think the best part of the monthly theme is seeing all the paintings by everyone.

Love the feeling you have created with the soft gentle colours here Claudia. Don't know anything about this google view - is it like our map references with street views.??
