“Yesterday evening from Arsenale. I'd forgotten my Ultramarine blue so had to make do with Cerulean (not the same thing!). It seemed to work out okay though another problem developed in that I'd planned that the setting sun would enter the scene during the final stages though it actually set out of the picture to the left, so I stuck with my 30/40 mins before sundown effect and of course discovered my Ultramarine as I packed up...doh!”

It's very pretty! I like the misty effect you created and know only too well the difference in those blues!!
I like it very much.
Your choices turned into the scene I've watched many times. It's lovely in the way only Venice is lovely. It's fairy land with water. You have a real feel for the place. It shows the way your scenes at home in Provence show genuine love.
You ..and cerulean..have totally captured the magic of Venice at dusk.Thank you!
Fairy land with water it utterly is :)
Divine!
Love your paintings and also love your comments about painting. I agree with others that the cerulean did make the painting. I too love ultramarine more than the other blues, but cerulean was the best here.
