Vicenza is known as the La Citta del Palladio "City of Palladio" when you visit  the city  it's easy to miss this beautiful façade of Palladio's unfinished Palazzo . Sharing a freehand  pen and wash sketch I made when I first moved to Italy.

 As this will be my last post for a  few weeks I  just wanted to wish my fellow bloggers and friends a very creative August .... see you all  soon.
