April in Venice...

What a wonderful and inspiring trip it was; the constant feeling of walking inside a painting, the sunshine which glittered everything it touched, the picturesque and silent corners hidden away from the streams of tourists, the art and unique architecture. 
The main thing that fascinated us, almost to the point of obsession, were the mysterious gazes of the beautiful masks that hung on walls, from ceilings, in windows and were found all over the city. It was, however, only the traditionally made ones that stood out from the rest because of their authenticity, craftsmanship and intricacy...all this seeded some ideas in my head for some drawing projects!
