Narrow Venetian Street - Calle de Cocco

Further to the most recent post, I was lucky enough to stay for a couple of days in an apartment in the Calle de Cocco in Venice. One of the most fascinatingly narrow streets I have ever stood in, and one of the tallest, narrowest drawings that I have attempted.

The character of the street is dictated by the projections around the windows above, and the sound of the canal at the far end could be heard clearly.

The drawing is taken from a sketchbook (hence the gutter), and is made on 140lb HP Watercolour paper.
