Does this sound like you?
Every watercolor book says “start from the big shapes”. But when you face a real scene – it doesn’t work.
«You need a different entry point. One that removes fear instead of adding it.»
“Usually the learning process goes from general to a detail. I decided to proceed vice versa – because I believe it will help to break through many fears”
Your 2-day Venetian journey with Konstantin Sterkhov
From one detail of Venice to 2 full Italian scenes – you'll learn to see any complex subject with a confident eye.
April 22, Wednesday
A gondola at a Venetian mooring. Water, light, striped poles, an arched façade behind. Most artists would freeze in front of this scene. Konstantin will show you where to start – and paint it with you in real time.
You'll leave Day 1 with a finished artwork and a new sense of structure.
April 23, Thursday
A walk along the Prato della Valle in Padua. Statues, a basilica in the distance, a figure moving through it. Three planes of depth, aerial perspective, and the art of choosing which details survive.
Day 2 brings everything together – detail, figure, and the bigger scene – and opens the door to painting Italy not just from photos, but for real.

"I’ve watched hundreds of artists try Venice for the first time – and almost all of them freeze. They look at a canal full of light, water, gondolas, palaces, and they don’t know where to begin. I built this approach around the way I wish someone had taught me when I started: one piece at a time, from the smallest detail to the bigger vision."
