Demonstration: Painting a Cityscape with

Welcome to an Art Blog Carnival on painting demonstrations!

December Demonstration: Venice Cityscape with Acrylics

I used Google Street Views to identify a location in Venice (Calle Cavalli Castello, Venice, Veneto, Italy) .
The combination of water reflecting sunlight and the perspective lines of the walls and windows caught my eye.  The video is a compilation of video and still images for the piece that is not yet finished, as of December 10.

I use acrylics to push me to work faster and experiment with color, blending, and glazing.
