Illustrator Lucy Truman recently shared Part Two of her travel journal series, this time taking us along the historic canals of Venice, Italy. Working on-location to capture the city’s soft architectural tones and shifting light, Lucy uses these spontaneous sketches as a vital foundation for her finished editorial and narrative illustrations.
“Drawing on location is something I enjoy because interactions occur which lead to unexpected ideas and developments in the drawings! Visual note-taking allows me to build and feed into my editorial, publishing, and hospitality focused illustration projects, with a strong emphasis on atmosphere and sense of place.”
Tapping into the traveler’s experience, Lucy is able to translate the myriad impressions and discoveries into beautiful moments in time—a true snapshot of inspired artistry and historic appreciation.
