The first long trip of our semester abroad in Rome was to northern Italy including Como, Verona, Padua and Venice.
I found the colors in the city of Venice to be extremely inspiring and beautiful.
Getting to visit the city, including a half a day of free time to explore on our own, was so much fun. The city, as you can imagine, has the most vibrant blues and aquas but what I found the most inspiring were the mix of pinks and greens playing against the water.
The textures created by both the gothic facades throughout the city and the reflection of the light on the water were really moving.
Venice was so beautiful and had such vibrant colors! I was happy to take home some murano glass to help remind me of how inspired I was during this trip. I now fully understand why watercolors of Venice are so popular.
