Sketchbook Journeys – Italy: Day 9 (Pigeons in Venice)

Leslie Fehling
January 28, 2014

Can you imagine Venice without pigeons? They’re such a part of the city that I felt they deserved a page in my travel journal…

These four are making the loveliest shadows as they perch on a lamp support on the clock tower in the Piazza San Marco…

And this group has found something worth investigating…

The purple lettering on the page was done with a metallic gel pen…

I just recently discovered Sakura Gelly Roll gel pens
and have found they’re great for adding titles and text to a sketchbook
page. The ink flows smoothly on any paper and they come in a nice selection of colors.

I used a line of dots to connect the two sketches and add a decorative element to the page. Spattered paint suggests the texture of the stone pavers and/or pigeon food.

There you have it – a pretty pink and purple pigeon page!

Imagine how crazy it was in San Marco Square when they still allowed people to feed the pigeons. lol This is great!
