Pastel-hued palazzo buildings in cream, ochre, and sage green rise directly from the turquoise-green waters of Venice's Grand Canal, their weathered facades punctuated by Gothic and Renaissance arched windows and a distant bell tower. The composition captures the soft, diffused light of a cloudy day, rendering the historic architecture in muted tones that speak to centuries of Venetian elegance and the city's intimate relationship with water. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
