In this research post, I have just been looking at lots of different images as reference for illustrating our own italian style stone fountain:

This image has been good reference for our shell-like fountain shelf mainly for the shadowing.

This one is better because its not as natural in shape and more man-made looking, which we want ours to be as we want it to look as if it is made of stone. This image is good reference as we can see how the water cascades over the edge, a detail that will most probably be added in Photoshop once the vector artwork is completed in Illustrator.

This one was looked at for the edging around the top - this shape actually was inspiring more of the tiles around the edge than the fountain itself.
Again, looking at water cascading.

This one was of interest because of the aging around the actual basin, inspiring more texture etc.

This image was more for answering questions about the bowl itself and how it would stand up about the colour etc.

Looking at different examples of aging and stonework.

This was simply to look at colour and texture of stone.

This is the closest inspiration for our tiles and how to make them realistic.
