Happy Valentines Day - Venice. Size: 38cm x 44 cm. Watercolour
We have had so many grey days in France this winter, that I desperately needed to paint an atmospheric scene in bright cheerful colours. I loved this view, especially the domes. My aim was to record enough information to tell the story and stop before overworking it. I love the power of suggestion and we artists appreciate how difficult it is to stop painting before it is too late. I made sure that I used a big brush 95% of the time, applying big washes and lots of water. I also incorporated some acrylic inks to strengthen the chroma and to add a little zing. Very rewarding indeed.
