Venice at sunset

Video - Level ◆◆◆

A very famous scene in this lesson - Venice at sunset. I was lucky enough to go on a solo sketching trip to Venice a few years ago and I did sketch the Grand Canal at sunset one evening. It was magical and the scene for this lesson brings back lovely memories.

Lots of wonderful light in this one and big shapes to play with various neutral colours. For this lesson we use just 3 primaries and you can choose your favourite red, blue and yellow combination.

There's also still water ... so a follow up to the lessons we've already been doing with that. In this one I show you how to use a normal wax candle to create the sparkles on the water.

Happy painting!
