This original mixed media sketch was inspired by a trip to Cinque Terre in Italy a few years ago, and more specifically by the colorful village of Riomaggiore. I couldn’t resist this view with its bright red house, warm yellow buildings, rocky coastline and turquoise water. It has exactly the kind of colour and character I love to sketch.
After coming back from Italy, I made several versions of this view, and this one became one of my favourites. The sketch combines loose urban sketching lines with rich watercolor washes and coloured pencil textures, giving the scene a lively, sunlit feel.
Italian Colors by the Sea (Cinque Terre)
This is an original mixed media artwork, created with watercolour and coloured pencils on 100% cotton paper. It is not a print, which means there is only one available.
Please note that colours may look slightly different on your screen than in real life. The artwork is sold unframed, so you can choose a frame that fits your own space and style. I think this piece would look beautiful in a clean, understated frame with a modest passe-partout, giving the flowers just enough breathing room while keeping the fresh, spontaneous feel of the sketch.
