Venice in Watercolour (Ready to Paint)

Studying the elegance and romance of Venetian architecture has long been the inspiration of thousands of painters for hundreds of years, and the scenes in this workbook pay tribute to this longstanding tradition. With projects that include Andrea Palladio s celebrated Renaissance church on the island of St. George replete with passing gondolas, the authoritative grandeur of the Gallerie dell Accademia, and a true icon of Venetian 16th-century design, the Ponte di Rialto, each of the five projects captures the light, texture, and history of this birthplace of Western culture. Each scene is accompanied by tracing papers that allow beginning painters without advanced drawing skills an easy way to transfer a balanced layout to the watercolor surface.
