Venetian Basilica at Sunrise
The workshop took place on February 27, 2021.
Here is a video recording of it, in two parts.
The first part was recorded from the zoom conference, and you will see both me and all the stages of work.
The second part was recorded from a stationary camera, and you will see all the stages in the best quality.
Overall, the workshop was 4 hours long.
You can also see the reference photo and my finished watercolor below.
