Lesson 15 of the Watercolor Travel to Italy book is hot off the press. I finished the second one only moments ago and it’s still taped down to my table. Venice is the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region and as you probably know, there are no roads, only canals. Have any of you ever been there? Although we went to Italy in 2016, we didn’t get to Venice, so this painting is my closest experience with the place.
I decided to quit posting the entire page of the artists’ instructions – seemed like it was probably a violation of some sort of copyright, or at the very least giving away something they are trying to sell. I’ve been going back and deleting the ones I’ve already posted.
These are definitely getting harder, but I’m also getting a little more loose with the whole process and less likely to worry if my attempts don’t rise to the original. It’s really valuable experience just to try it.
I decided to try for bolder and darker colors on the second attempt. Also, you can see the tape on this one. I use fancy washi tape just because I like it. It has no special properties for use with watercolors.
I peeked ahead and noticed that the very last lesson in the instruction book has NO instructions! It will feel like a final exam. Hope I’m ready!
I’ll probably washi tape this in the morning.

Great job….I do like them both, but think I like the water effect in the first one best. Of course the washi tape is a nice touch. I’m sure you’ll nail the final!
