An outing to the water's edge, Venice

Lightly sketch the main figures, wall, and horizon line, paying attention to proportions and perspective.

Block in the basic colors of the sky, water, and wall with diluted washes.

Add the figures, starting with the larger shapes and gradually adding details like clothing folds and facial features.

Paint the boats in the distance, using lighter values and less detail to create atmospheric perspective.

Develop the texture of the wall with dry brush techniques and subtle color variations.

Refine the details of the figures, paying attention to light and shadow.

Add final touches like the basket and the patterns on the clothing.

Glaze with thin washes to unify the colors and create a sense of atmosphere.
