Love this Mark

I really like the elongated view here Mark and how you’ve left the painting drifting from the edges of your paper. You have achieved that looseness you’re looking for, and the whole thing is excellent. If you’re looking for criticism, sorry can’t oblige!

I feel I have turned another corner with this painting, it is what I set out to achieve. Thank you so much for all your comments, I particularly like Jennifer’s “ Your water is alive”, that made me chuckle. 🤓

I sat and sketched on the Riva del Vin looking across to the southerly bank of the Grand Canal and sketched a sliver of the view, this painting is entirely based on that sketch. Painted in watercolour on St Cuthbert's Millford paper.
