"This view from the Rialto Bridge is looking down the Grand Canal towards the Salute. Imagine our joy when we found that our hotel was right next to the bridge. It is a short walk through alleyways to St Marks from here. You have to walk everywhere in Venice, unless you go by boat of course." CR
GRAND CANAL 2 by Colin Ruffell.
Signed and numbered fine art print.
GRAND CANAL 2 is one of the worldwide cityscape pictures from my portfolio of giclee fine-art prints.
Visiting famous places is one of the most fascinating things that I have ever done. Of course I am lucky because I was born in London which is crammed with iconic venues. But over the years I have visited, and painted, lots of other wonderful places. All over the world.
This is how I do it.
For landscapes and cityscapes I go and see the place if possible. Make sketches or plein air painting, take photos, gather background information. Bring back to my studio here in Brighton UK.
Or I digitally develop ideas for paintings , or just experiment with a blank canvas.
Then I paint the original painting. Next I scan the image to make a master digital file. We own a wide format Epson giclee printer meaning that I can make my own test proofs, then print-on-demand to the highest international standards providing a valuable investment for your fine-art collection.
