I love sketching Venice! The time I was there, I did some of my best sketches and took thousands of photos. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go through my notebooks from that trip without wondering why I haven’t painted that sketch into a painting yet.
Right now, I’m not travelling or painting outside much. I’m recovering from a badly broken ankle. With the marvels of modern surgery, I can bear weight on it after a few weeks, but it’s really not happy about that. So I’m sitting more than I’ve ever sat in my life since my school days. It’s driving me nuts!
While I haven’t been painting as much, I have been sketching little sketches or sorting through journals. Getting ideas. One project I’ve put off way too long is a small series on Venice doorways. I’ve been wanting to do a series of little sketches of them since I went!
So this quick journal sketch is me thinking about sketching Venice doorways.
