"A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him." Arthur Symons.
Hello fellow artists! Benvenuti a Venezia, Italia!
The focus of this workshop is the romantic, historic and gorgeous Venice, one of my favorite spots in Europe, a real treat for any artist.
The canals, the iconic Italian architecture, the gondolas, the colorful buildings, the well-preserved culture, and the delicious food and wine are some of Venice's attractions.
I will paint different subjects during this new workshop: a typical Venetian window/door and two different Venice views: a canal with reflections and the gondolas with Venice skyline.
