Captivating Venice an Original Oil painting by Rebecca Beal Gallery wrapped Canvas ready to hang

She sat upon the gondolas warm seat and looked as far down the darkening canal as the setting sun would allow. She wondered if others appreciated Venice’s beauty and fragility as deeply as she had come to or if, like a raging fever, the city infected some while avoiding others. She sighed at the grandeur and at the resilience that surrounded her, and she promised herself she’d try to be more like Venice.
Years of practice create Layer upon layer of transparent oils, so you can see multiple colors that give a deep richness to this Original Oil Painting.
Loose and Painterly.

 

First the drawing, then I add a bit of color
I then add multi-colors in transparent oils
then  I move onto the finish with oils and highlights.
