  Painting of Positano
by Erin74
 
 

Throughout Positano you will see artists displaying their watercolor paintings, photographs and sketches of the Positano scenery. Unlike the mass-produced images you'll see being hawked in big cities like Rome, many of the artworks for sale on the street in Positano are original and of good quality.

These paintings make great gifts and mementos of your time in Positano.

What to pay: The paintings vary in price depending on the artist and the size & complexity of the art. You can find everything from postcard-sized sketches for a couple of euro to much larger watercolor scenes for 10, 15 or 20 euro.

Directions: A great place to find paintings is along the bouganvilla walkway in the heart of Positano. Usually, the artists will have all of their paintings spread out on the ground and displayed on the walls of the walkway.
