The Fish Market, Venice


A sketch and then a more finished drawing on A1 Arches paper. I have always enjoyed the fish market, and although I love the abundance of produce, the stalls, the pools of electric light, and the whole theatre of the market when its full of traders and shoppers...what I wanted to explore was the empty space, the blinds and the shadows, the building itself, not just its function. It is very difficult to draw an empty space.
