walking Annecy
This watercolor scene captures one of Annecy’s emblematic canals bathed in warm, late-afternoon light. The buildings rise tightly along the water, their pastel facades softened by the fluid brushstrokes, creating that mix of charm and age the town is known for. Sunlight slips between roofs and balconies, warming the stone walls and throwing long, gentle reflections across the canal.
On the left, a café terrace hugs the railing, its awnings in reds and yellows adding a lived-in energy. People sit or stand in casual conversation, their forms loosely sketched to keep the scene moving rather than static. Opposite them, the taller ochre building catches the sun squarely, becoming the visual anchor of the composition.
The canal itself acts as the painting’s spine. Its water shifts from golden to cool blue, hinting at both depth and motion. Soft ripples pull the eye toward the small stone bridge in the background, a quiet threshold between this lively foreground and the town stretching beyond.
Behind everything rise the alpine hills, brushed in cool greens and misty whites. They remind you that Annecy isn’t just picturesque; it’s tucked between lake and mountains, always balanced between calm and drama.
