Sunset at Little Venice - Mykonos Painting

The painting was produced during the Spring of 2023 and depicts the iconic Little Venice of Mykonos island that lies within the Aegean Sea in Greece. When I started thinking about this picture I wanted to capture this scene during a sunset and depict the windy weather for which the Aegean Sea is known for at the same time. Whilst producing the draft on the canvas I instinctively drew a series of curved lines to represent the sky and sea which formed the basis for the painting. Having completed the draft I began adding the oil paint using a series of brush strokes aiming to create a textured effect using a plethora of complementary colours. The painting was completed using Van Gogh Oils rating of +++.
