Description
Watercolours on watercolour paper, pencil, some scraping with a sharp knife.I like this one better than the previous one. Although now I notice with some horror that the ruins are leaning to one side! There was a lot of blurring to do in this painting which I thoroughly enjoyed. Very relaxing.
I'm not too pleased with some of the colours, especially the overtly blue hill in the distance. The palette was: Payne's Grey (so much of it!), Ultramarine, Cobalt Blue, Purple Lake, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre and Hooker's green.

Hehe, you're going through the same book I did, I was stuck on the venetian boats unfortunately and never finished it :/

Yeah, I'm finding a ton of good books at the city library and I want to go through ALL OF THEM! ... ...maybe in a hundred years or so. x)

I love how eerie this looks! And I think it's okay that the ruins are learning over; they're ruins, after all, I guess!
