Venice is one of the most intriguing, inspiring cities in the world!
Join me and paint the fascinating city of Venice. I will demonstrate how to capture scenes from all around the town including quaint canals, architecture, light and cafes.
I will instruct you on how to draw the gondola and go over the “anatomy” of this unique means of transportation…since the 11th century in Venice.
I recommend a small canvas, 8 x 10 .
Please add tracing paper and a fine tip black marker to your supply list. I suggest you print out the photo in an 8 x 10 size so you can place the proportions on your canvas. (It might be pixelated as its a small file) .
The painting attached is a small watercolor I did on location in Venice, in an atmospheric lesson, to capture the morning fog. You can paint in this muted palette or use the more vibrant colors in the photo. Artists choice !! I will demo both….

I will be working on a small Canvas, 8 x 10 or 11 x 14. Whatever size you are comfortable with is fine.
I use a set of Acrylic Brushes, which include a 1/2 flat, 1/4 flat, 3 rounds, #6, #8, #12.
Please have two containers of water, paper towels or paint rags.
I use a Masterson covered palette with a sponge to keep my paints wet. If you don’t have a palette, paper plates or palette paper pads will work.
There are many starter sets available on line, Jerrysartarama.com , or Amazon. Liqutex, and Golden brands have complete sets.
