A Vision of Venice in Watercolour Published by Royal Academy Publications. By Ken Howard. Venice, with its stunning architecture, earth colors, and atmospheric light, has had a great effect on British artist Ken Howard's work for over 30 years. Here he paints contre jour, with the intense light reflecting off water, rooftops, or piazzas, building his watercolors with wash upon wash of transparent. His subjects include St. Mark's Square, the Salute, Campo S. Angelo, and the famed fish market.
