    LOVE YOUR VIDEO! Thanks. I too am a black female who visited Italy in 2013. Experienced racism once in Rome but it was quickly eradicated by the awesomeness of the rest of the population. Rented an apartment in Venice for a week and intended to do some plein air painting but, because I took my mother with me, my plans changed to accommodate her. Ergo, no painting/art at all. Overall, AMAZING EXPERIECE and a MUST REPEAT. Hope you return and paint... paint... and paint some more. Will keep watching. LOL

    I think Venice is the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited. The light is unbelievable and the color of the water just can’t be duplicated at least I can’t. Like you I took hundreds of photos. I hardly slept, went walking late at night and before the sun was up, no one around. It was a magical place and holds a special place in my heart. Thanks for sharing your trip and reminding me of mine.

    Also thank you for sharing your experiences with us in Venice, the good and the bad. This video has been very enlightening especially since I hope to travel and take a tour of many cities in Italy one day soon.

    Ciao! OMG I loved every second of this video. GIRL YOU GOT ME LOOKING AT FLIGHTS 😂
    But seriously, Italy is at the top of my list to travel to - I have never been but I've spent countless hours researching where I'd go, where I'd stay, where I'd paint...being kinda psycho about it 😆
    In 2018 we had a 2 week honeymoon trip booked which never happened (Wolfy lost his job a month before we were supposed to go) so I still have the whole itinerary saved for "someday." Fly into Bologna, spend a few days there before city-hopping our way down to Amalfi coast where we have several days of bliss 😍 I'd be painting and filming nonstop too! But I think I would also be overwhelmed by the beauty. Also I would need lots of play money for gelato and coffee 😶
    Thankfully, Wolfy doesn't mind when I sit and paint, he's so patient, but I still feel kinda bad. Solo traveling is wonderfully freeing. Maybe I need a mini vaca to one Italian city...

    Venice looks beautiful. I always go on vacation by myself as I usually prefer different things to the people around me for such trips as well that I just live going by myself and doing whatever I'm in the mood for. The recent years I've taken my sketchbook along as well and with some trips I do a lot of sketching and watercolor while with others my supplies barely leave my bag.
    I LOVE fancy rooms and such and almost always make sure to book a room with a tub. But I do choose a pretty view as well as close to certain must see areas over comfort. Also, prefer breakfast to be included. It forces me out of bed early and be presentable. Otherwise sleeping in with those wonderful beds is what my stupid head will do 🤣 one of the musts I find is visiting art and book stores wherever I go. And I'm so sorry you were treated that way! He certainly did not deserve your presence nor your money. More than enough other places that DO love to welcome you at their establishment.

The hotel we stayed at had the most breathtaking view of one of the lakes, with the fog floating above it. Magical. I should definitely try painting it, though painting fog sounds like a tough challenge! xxx

    This video was so great, and I'm glad you had such an amazing trip!! I've been to Italy ,also before I started painting, but I have about 200000 pictures!! I would love it if you shared some Venice pictures to paint! I've been thinking it would be fun to set up some way to share my pictures with people, but I just haven't looked into the best way to do that. I'm really hoping to go on an art adventure this year- maybe just to someplace in-state, like up north in Minnesota!

    I’m believe if you want to paint, you almost have to travel solo. When I travel with others, there just isn’t sufficient time to sit in one place for any length of time, and even when I do, they always want to talk to me. It is hard to get in the zone.

    Oh wow that’s such a beautiful (bucket list for me) trip that you took! Yes I would love to see/have a PDF of the photos of your trip to use as references, especially the night photos. I am not surprised by how many photographs you took & of the subjects. 😁💕I’m exactly the same way about any trips I go on with or without my family members.

    I’m sorry that shop owner was so rude to you. My vengeful self couldn’t help but wish you’d taken a page out of the “Pretty Woman” script, bought bags and bags of art supplies from his competitor, then gone back to his shop and said, “ Remember me? Guess I wasn’t wasting your competitor’s time! Could’ve been your sale if you hadn’t been such a racist asshole.” But that’s just me.😂 My husband and I were engaged in Venice.
