View Larger Map

You'll find an interactive map of Lisbon, Portugal above, though you can't access the little yellow pegman from that map. Use the link below it "View Larger Map", and the map will appear on your monitor; drag the little Yellow Man onto the map, step into Lisbon, and start exploring. Find an interesting subject/area. Change it all you want. Or paint it straight up as you see it. Instructions are in the sidebar to the right. Any questions, ask 'em in the comments or email me directly.

Again, we are always happy to mention that Google has given their okay for artists to use Street View as a reference for paintings that can then be sold without fear of copyright infringement.

Thank you to the Google Maps Team, the Google Street View Team, and all those involved. And thank you, artists, for participating.

A BIG welcome to all the new followers of this blog! Remember, participation is open to all levels of artistic ability.

NOW LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

Thank you Tony - another city I've never been to and can now explore! (PS Hope you come to Africa one day!)

Shelley Ross said...

What a fantastic idea. I'm tickled with it and I commend you on both the idea and getting it right with Google. I agree, a great boon for house bound artists.

Billy Guffey said...

Hi Deb. Welcome to Lisbon!

Hi Liz. Not sure who Tony is, but he's welcome too! ;) We'll come to Africa as soon as Google films it.

Hi Shelley. Thanks for comments. Hope you join in this month.
