I’m sharing two post  with you today. I finished this large picture of my favorite building in Venice. If you saw the last post, you’ll notice how dark and blue it was. Most of the pictures you see of this are taken in late afternoon with the west light hitting the marble front of the building. Alas, we were only there in the morning, so the light was quite different. As it is, I’ve added a lot more light than there actually was. I also removed the vaporettos and other miscellaneous boats and added a sailboat that I filmed sailing near here.  I used a light yellow base color and really hated it!  It left all those little light holes everywhere, particularly in the buildings  buildings. I really don’t like working on a light surface, even though it was good for the sky. Speaking of which, I made up the clouds. They were there on the third day, but I added these from my imagination.  What I loved when there was seeing the light blue violet of the sky and the blue green of the water. I tried to capture this, but not sure how successful. Would love any feedback!
