  •  Comment The usual naming scheme for re-nominations is “Featured picture candidates/File:<filename>/2”. We should use it here, too, because e.g. the {{Assessments}} relies on this scheme; adding the “2” instead to the filename will confuse the template, maybe also the bot and certainly people, including the poor FP housekeepers. Therefore I have renamed the nomination and updated the links. --Aristeas (talk) 06:24, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for catching that and making the necessary adjustments. I'll make sure to follow the standard naming scheme for re-nominations in the future to avoid any confusion --Wilfredor (talk) 11:00, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! --Aristeas (talk) 14:01, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's a painting done in two layers; the first is pointillism, and then it was colored over. --Wilfredor (talk) 22:29, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your question made me curious, Charles, and I asked a friend of me who is an expert in art history. The answer: High quality watercolor papers for artists usually are very textured. This texture can be visible in good photos/scans of watercolor paintings and that can make them look grainy, especially old ones. (Just Google “water color paper texture”.) So after all the grainy impression confirms the quality of the reproduction. --Aristeas (talk) 06:40, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was only curious as none of the Victorian watercolours on my walls look like this! Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:46, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
