Inspired by Santa Maria and Donato Basilica in Murano Italy. I love the craftsmanship of the stunning gold interior dome which is laid with tiny mosaic tiles featuring the image of Holy Mary.

​

My drawings of the Basilica’s dome, alter and archways were formed using unstructured lines to create a realistic interpretation of the interior of this antiquated building. I completed my drawings using watercolour washes to enhance the weathered appearance overall. Mary’s elegance was defined by flowing linework and watercolour tones of soft blue.

​

To finalise my work using digital techniques on Illustrator and photoshop, I used a variety of  filters to create my final images. Images are printed onto quality textured Valero art paper.
