Your Eyes to the World of Soft Pastel Art
The Virtual Paintout: Corsica
Google maps
There are many virtual paintouts on the Internet and I found an interesting one using Google Street View. Last year Google has allowed using images from Google Street View as a reference for creating paintings and drawings, and the artists can sell these works.
Bill Gufey is running a blog where he picks a place in the world monthly and the artist must use a view found through Google Street View as the reference for the painting or drawing.
The participation is open to all levels of artistic ability.
