Venice Italy in Watercolors!

An oldie watercolor painting of Venice….

Time after time I like to look back at my old watercolor paintings.  I like to see how much my art change and my skills grow during the years!  Recently I came across this painting that I made in 2013 around this time of the year. It is almost four years ago and I like to re-share it with you all. This painting is very dear to me because is a view of “Venice” Venezia in Italian,  it is one beautiful city  in Italy, my native country! 
It is a view of Venice that I just painted out of my visual memory without any photo reference. It is a loose watercolor, I remember I was practicing the loose technique so hard to master! I know there is a lot that I could’ve done better, it was a fast painting and somehow, I am pleased with how this painting turned out!  I think I was able to capture the feeling and essence of Venice. If you have been to Venice then maybe you recognize this view. I wasn’t born in Venice it’s not my hometown. I was born in Naples another beautiful city on the sea. That’s why I love the ocean so much and  I love to paint water, there is something about water that it is so inspiring to me in many ways, artistically and not. I like the reflections and the colors. I often base my palette on the beautiful range of colors of the sea.  The sea and the ocean are very often captured also in my photography!

Details about Watercolor:
 I used  French Artists Watercolors  Sennelier  l’Aguarelle and I painted on a Canson watercolor paper 140 lb cold press.

  1. We visited Italy two years ago. We didn’t make it to your hometown, but being in Venice was surreal! I never dreamed is be fortunate enough to travel there and have many cherished memories. 🇮🇹

  2. I loooove Venezia! I especially adore the little islands outside the city. When I came to Murano I just wanted to live there! 💖💖💖. I love your painting, I love the light and softness of it. 😊💖😊💖

      1. Hopefully my husband is decorating our living room next week and then she will go on the wall. I have been waiting to put her up. At the moment she is on the window sill. I will post about her when she is in place 😀
