Cafe Venezia (progress ii)

Since the last update, I've darkened the shadow areas with a contrasting color: Diamine Ancient Copper.  The hues created by the mingling of the blue/violet and copper pigments are beginning to create some interesting depths.  In my source photo (posted several weeks ago), you can see that the lighting situation in this scene is unusual in that it's very dark due to the closeness of the buildings, although it's broad daylight.  Only the light from the shops illuminates the narrow street leading to the piazza.
