Water-coloring and oil-painting in Antigua
PLEASE NOTE: this site has a new address, would you please update your links so it now reads:
Antigua’s streets are used for many things. Often you can see people water-coloring and oil-painting on the streets. Some of them do it for pleasure, others make a living selling their artworks to tourists. Believe me when I say that this city has many motives for amateurs painters and photographers alike.
Antigua is also used as backdrop and great location by professional photographers and film-makers. Actually, there are quite a few movies which have been shot in Antigua; I don’t have a list now, but I will post it later on with some movie-making photos.
