Here is the last painting I’ve completed since our Venice Carnival Art Trek. One of my students this time was in her 80’s. And, normally you would think as the teacher you should be inspiring your students, but in this case, I believe she inspired me! Plein air painting isn’t easy, between not only capturing the scene on location, but also toting all of your gear and she kept at it.
So, for this last scene, I treated us to a spot right outside the door of our hotel and let her pick our subject. You’ve got to love the quintessential Venetian balcony with the green shutters and ironwork! I also was attracted to the morning light creating deep shadows on all of the textured bark and stucco, which is so much fun to capture with palette knife.
