Venice in Watercolour A Collection of Wearable Art

Venice in Watercolour

A Collection of Wearable Art

Each dress in this collection begins with a watercolour painting — Venice as I have come to know it through countless hours of study. The canals, the palazzi, the light on the water, the quiet corners where time seems to hold still. Now these scenes live on fabric — wearable paintings for those who carry Venice in their hearts.

Tra i Canali, Venezia Midi Dress

No. 01 — JUST RELEASED

Tra i Canali, Venezia JUST RELEASED

Among the canals. The dress captures Venice in its complexity — the layered architecture, the interplay of light and shadow, the sense of wandering through passages where water and stone have spoken to each other for centuries. A painting of depth and discovery. This dress has just arrived in the shop.

La Serenissima, A Quiet Canal in Venice Midi Dress

No. 02 — NEW DESIGN

La Serenissima, A Quiet Canal in Venice

The Most Serene Republic — Venice's ancient name. This dress holds the quietness of those back canals, the ones tourists rarely find. Terracotta buildings rise above still water, and the light falls in soft tones of cream and ochre. It is a painting of peace, of solitude, of the Venice that whispers rather than shouts. This is a new design in the collection.

Venice Canal Historic Architectures Gondola Midi Dress

No. 03

Venice Canal — Historic Architectures & Gondola

The heart of Venice's grandeur. This dress features the palatial architecture that lines the canals — the carved stonework, the arched windows, the bridges, and always the gondolas that move through this world like dark brushstrokes. It is a full immersion in Venetian splendour.

Corte del Sabion Midi Dress

No. 04

Corte del Sabion — A Hidden Courtyard

A place where tourists rarely wander. The *corte* is a private Venice — a small courtyard where water meets stone in the most intimate way. Lanterns glow against walls that have held centuries. This dress is for those who seek the Venice beyond the guidebooks, the spaces where the city still breathes quietly.

Rio Tera Secondo Midi Dress

No. 05

Rio Tera Secondo — Venice

A narrow passage in Venice, where buildings lean close and the water catches light between high walls. A street sign marks the corner — Rio Tera Secondo, a quiet stretch most visitors never find. This dress captures that hidden, intimate side of the city, painted exactly as it stands today.

Venice Grand Canal Gondolas Before the Nightfall Midi Dress

No. 06

Venice Grand Canal — Gondolas Before the Nightfall

Before nightfall. A row of gondolas, their deep blue covers pulled tight, rest along the Grand Canal. The sky above glows gold and peach as the last light drains from the horizon. It is the quiet drama of transition, the beauty of dusk settling in, the way Venice holds you even as the day fades into memory.

Venetian Corte del Sabion Midi Dress

My latest addition to the Venice collection is here — the Venetian Corte del Sabion Midi Dress, printed with my original watercolour painting of one of Venice's most intimate and secluded corners.

The painting captures a quiet Venetian corte at golden hour — a gondola resting against weathered walls beneath a centuries-old archway, warm ochre and antique gold facades glowing in the evening light, and the dark still canal reflecting it all back. Printed all-over on a flowing midi dress in rich, warm tones.

Here is the original watercolour painting:

Venice Grand Canal Gondolas — Before the Nightfall, Italy Watercolour Painting

 


I am delighted to share my latest Venice series watercolour painting - Venice Grand Canal Gondolas — Before the Nightfall. 

This painting holds a special place in my heart. Venice has always captivated me — not just as a subject to paint, but as a city that speaks directly to the soul. There is something almost otherworldly about the way the last golden light of day settles over the lagoon, casting long shadows across the gondolas as they rock gently at their moorings.

But Venice is more than a beautiful view. It is a city steeped in over a thousand years of history, romance, and extraordinary human ingenuity. And at the very heart of it all — the gondola. More story read here.

 This original painting  (16.1" x 12.2") is available to purchase in my shop DeniseWongArts

 My Venice Grand Canal Gondolas — Before the Nightfall painting is also available as wearable art. Imagine carrying a piece of Venice wherever you go — the golden twilight sky, the deep blue gondolas, the timeless elegance of the lagoon — all beautifully printed on this gorgeous dress from my latest Venice series collection.

You can purchase this dress and explore more of my wearable art collection at my shop — DeniseWongArts.
