Transcription project: initial research


Working on 'Transcription', a project to create something new inspired by an existing work, in the National Gallery. As I'm starting this course 3 weeks into it, I thought I'd do online research first, and had a look at the '30 highlight paintings'.
       Canaletto's Stonemason's Yard jumped out at me as it reminded me of visiting Venice  -  JG Links' Venice for Pleasure guide takes you to Canaletto's viewpoint, across the Grand Canal to the Accademia Museum opposite. I love Venice and immediately felt that I would find some inspiration here.
