Lazise fishing port | Lake Garda Italy | Watercolor painting

Watercolour painting of Lazise on Lake Garda.
Between Bardolino and Peschiera lies the atmospheric town of Lazise. The town's name comes from the Latin Laceses, meaning 'place by the lake'.

I photographed this composition across the cosy little harbour overlooking the street Via Fontana. I loved the place and decided to paint it one day.

In the foreground you can see part of the water of the cosy harbour with two small fishing boats. Behind it is the promenade with the tall mansions with the charming little windows, the cosy terrace of restaurant Gipi's Bar where people are eating and drinking under the parasols and sunshades. Because it was a very hot day.

I visited this cosy medieval town in the middle of summer. This painting exudes 'holiday' and 'cosiness' and is an atmospheric image as a wall decoration. I painted the original painting with watercolours and ink pen on A3 size and 300g watercolour paper.

Ricardo has been painting with watercolors for over 25 years and translates his own travel experiences into paintings. His webshop offers various subjects such as: Illustrative realism, Line drawings, Impressionism, Line & Wash and Modern Abstract painting.

Ricardo is a traditional illustrator and painter. He therefore does not use 'Ai' (artificial intelligence). All his works are handmade and created from his own (travel) experiences, ideas and expertise in the field of painting. His subjects often have a connection with nature, an emotion or a (city) location that he has visited himself.
His motto is: 'To be able to create atmosphere, you must first have tasted it'

Ricardo does everything in a traditional way. From stretching the watercolor paper, sketching and drawing the composition and subject, to painting with watercolors and inks.

All paintings are photographed in high resolution and available in this webshop as wall decoration on various materials and sizes.
