Original – A watercolor painter working in Italy.

Reason: It's hard to imagine a more comprehensive and aesthetically pleasing depiction of this subject. It was promoted on Commons as early as 2007 and had rather enthusiastic support.

Support. Beautiful —Eustress ^talk 15:31, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support. I like how the lighting brings out the painting, but the unnecessarily cropped of tip of the canvas bothers me a bit. Would have been even more awesome if the "tools" were shown as well. --Dschwen 15:36, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree. This picture is only telling half the story. God Emperor^Talk 20:13, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry to ruin the party, but the technicals are pretty poor (particularly blown highlights on the page). JJ Harrison (talk) 23:45, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The important details are all present in good quality, and without the play of shadow and highlight, you wouldn't get the nice correspondence between subject and depiction that is possible here (subject = the view through the window). Also, white paper is designed for high reflectiveness. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 09:28, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Technically a solid image, but for this to have full EV, I think that a set of the watercolor paint (like this) needs to be included in the image. Spencer^T♦C 02:43, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support: The natural light on the fresh paint makes the water-based nature of the medium conspicuous. I think the EV lies mainly there and a set of paints is superfluous to that and unnecessary. That could well enough be shown in a separate image, such as this one. Julia\^talk 15:30, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
