A Storefront Portrait from Burano, Italy

by Jennifer Skopp

Jennifer Skopp had the opportunity to travel the last few years and looks for interesting homes and buildings for inspiration, to create Watercolor House and Store Portraits, as well as other Architectural Illustration. Jennifer lives in a New Jersey suburb and is always looking to diversify the types of buildings in her portfolio.

On Jennifer’s trip to Italy last year, she took a ferry and visited the island of Burano. It is famous for lacemaking and the colorful buildings. In her “Store Portrait” there is a lace and a gelato shop. Even though it rained that day and the water from the canal was spilling onto the sidewalk and soaking her feet, she considers it one of her favorite days of that trip.
