A studio painting of a small plein air study from my recent Venice trip.
This is the plein air painting and the starting point for the bigger painting above… |
1.Drawing made on location, helps to really see the subject.
2. Studio shot to give an idea of scale and palette.
3. My sky colours! and part of the water.
I enjoyed painting bigger, wanting to keep it still fresh and lively but more finished and ‘special’ looking.
I saw this view every day as it was right next to our house, I would look at it and think I want to paint that, so pleased I have!
