Original Lakeside Harmony II – Lake Como, Italy Watercolour Painting

 I am delighted that some of my original watercolour paintings are now available in my Etsy shop. This is my latest Italian series watercolour painting - Lakeside Harmony II – Lake Como, Italy.

Bathed in soft Mediterranean light, this artwork captures the timeless charm of lakeside villas, cypress trees, and flowering terraces reflected in calm turquoise waters.

 

Painted on 100% cotton, 300gsm professional watercolour paper, it evokes the peaceful rhythm and quiet elegance of Italian lake life. Limited Edition Art Prints are available as well. Visit the Shop Denise Wong Arts 

Lakeside Harmony, Lake Como, Italy

 

A sunlit lakeside village comes to life in this richly detailed watercolour painting of Lake Como, Italy. Terracotta-roofed houses rise in warm, ochre tones, tucked closely together among blooming gardens and leafy trees. The scene feels timeless—stone steps lead down to the lake’s edge, where still waters mirror the soft afternoon light. Vines spill gently over balconies, and quiet corners suggest lives lived slowly, with the rhythm of nature.

The lake itself is rendered in transparent layers of blue and jade, capturing the shifting light and the gentle movement of water. In the background, green mountains rise in soft gradients, their silhouettes fading into distant ridges of cooler blue. The sky above is clear and expansive, with subtle clouds drifting along the upper edge of the frame, balancing the composition with airy softness.

This painting invites the viewer into a moment of calm—where the beauty of architecture, landscape, and light are held in perfect balance. It captures the quiet luxury of lakeside living and the poetry of a place where water, land, and sky seem to speak to one another in colour.

Villa Balbianello, Lake Como - Watercolour Painting

 

This watercolour painting portrays a serene view of Lake Como, where the calm waters shift in tones of turquoise and deep green. Villa Balbianello rests gently on the shoreline, partly embraced by tall, graceful trees surrounding the villa along the lake’s edge. Layers of soft washes capture the reflections and subtle movement of the water, while the distant mountains add depth and a quiet sense of timelessness.

The composition draws the eye across the harmony of natural elements — water, trees, and sky — with the villa present as a quiet accent within the landscape. The interplay of light and colour reflects both stillness and vitality, offering a moment of calm that feels suspended between nature and history.

 A small edition of 7 art prints available. The print size is 30″ × 20.9″, only 7 prints worldwide. Printed by The Print Space UK on Museum-grade Hahnemühle German Etching paper.

I hope you are well. This is my second Lake Como watercolour painting with the Villa del Balbianello in the scene as well. The painting should be done soon. And here are the behind-the-scene, work-in-progress pictures of the painting...

 

From the studio corner. I used to stand and paint...that's few hours per day. There is so much joy and love painting Lake Como scenery. Italy is beautiful.
