The interior of the Colosseum, Rome. An original watercolour painted on a rejected piece of handmade Amalfi paper. Several sheets of the torn, ragged paper, full of holes, were given to me at the Amalfi paper mill (now a museum) when we visited in 2003. The paper surface is soft and textured and is lovely to paint on. The ancient ruins of the colosseum are the ideal subject to paint on the distressed surface of the paper. #roma #rome #colosseum #amalfi #amalfipaper #watercolour #watercolourpainting #gladiator #architecture (at Alan Reed Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWfh4TtIlkW/?utm_medium=tumblr
