Step by Step Competition
Gondolas in Venice, Cityscape
Step by Step Competition, Jan.-Mar. 2023

Venice is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, simply made for fine art. We will try to convey several motifs complicated for a watercolor artist at once - soft foggy light, gondolas, and complex reflections in transparent emerald water. This is truly one of the most remarkable places on the planet - and a really serious challenge for the artist. Let's try to take this height together, step by step.
I am proud to present our jury:
Gonzalo Vargas Garrido (Chile) instagram.com/gonzalovargas.art

Selma Todorova (Bulgaria) instagram.com/selma_todorova
