More images of Venice

The very first skecth I drew - this is as far as I got before the detail of the place started to get to me...

Then I decided to draw buildings while we were sitting in a sreet cafe having coffee etc...

A LOT of coffee actually......

These are the classic street lamps they have all over Venice while the gargoyle was a particularly impressive example!

These two 'cool dudes' were sitting opposite us at a restaurant and were just so funny to watch - I just had to draw them...

Recent trip to Venice

Just returned from a brilliant 12 day holiday in Venice. I took a couple of sketchbooks along with me fully inetnding to do plenty of sketching but I'd forgotten just how beautiful the city is and, to be honest, I was intimidated by it. There's so much detail everywhere....anyway, the above sketch was the view just around the corner from out apartment. It's only a small section of the view - if you multiply the width it by at least 4 then you'll get some idea of the view!
