Vernazza, Cinque Terre - Landscape 2
*All of my Travel Sketches may be re-painted by commission. If you see one you like that is sold or you'd prefer in different colors, contact me!*
Vernazza is one of the five “fishing villages” that comprise the Cinque Terre on Italy’s western coast, on the Ligurian Sea. As an early travel sketcher, I tried to draw the contrasts between the organic wild textures of the cliffs and the geometric forms of the village on the coast. I didn’t realize this goal with lines, but, now, I can see it with watercolor.I made the ink drawings as an undergraduate architecture student on travel study abroad with the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech in 1998. I used watercolor to interpret and enliven the drawing during pandemic quarantine, Spring 2020.
Watercolor Paper 140gsm
16” x 20”
Frame not included.
I'm excited to bring nearly 100 of my architectural Travel Sketches, created in mostly Italy, but also Switzerland, France, Spain, Greece, Hungary and Czech Republic from 1998 - 2012, into a Collection: lines drawn on site now illuminated by watercolor. Together, they reveal my personal evolution in architectural travel sketching and offer a piece of travel art that can remind you of your own memories in place, invite you into these spaces with your own experiential vision.
Thanks for helping to GIVE BACK: I'll donate 5% of the sale of this piece to the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech for student assistance/scholarship for travel study abroad.
