Tremendous potential you have Cesare, this is so good.

This is a lovely portrait Cesare. Isn't it a shame that some crafts belong to the past!

Fabulous, Cesare...shadows are really well done...do this in oils too!

Posted by T H on Sun 12 Jun 22:23:04

Thanks so much, Timothy, I'm flattered by your generous comment, but I don't know if I am able to paint this portrait in oil. I will try.

I like the restricted and subdued palette you have used Cesare. Your portraits get better and better.

Many thanks Jenny, Cliff, and Marjorie for your kind appreciations.

Cesare, painting portraits in Watercolour is more risky and demanding than painting in Oil. You surely know how to handle the medium. A great portrait!!!

Many thanks, Beatrice, for your kind comment and for your encouraging words.

Watercolour on Canson paper 300 gr. A4. "Ganzer" is an old Venetian craft. The ganzer approached with a hook the gondola to the shore and held her while people were going up. Now this job no longer exists. I made this portrait from a photo my father took in Venice. It was his favourite pastime and he was a good photographer.
