Hello, I'm Denise. I started painting Italian landscapes in 2023 and honestly, I haven't been able to stop. There's something wonderful about capturing Italy in watercolour — the rolling hills of Tuscany, the reflections on Lake Como, the warm glow of a little Italian restaurant, and the timeless canals of Venice. When I'm not painting, I'm writing and illustrating children's books. This blog is where I share it all — the process, the progress, and the finished paintings that bring la bella Italia to life.
