Alberi sul fiume Arno

La domenica pomeriggio di sole, febbraio: cosa meglio di un giro a godersi l'aria e i colori del tramonto? Ed infatti eccomi a giro con sketchbook e matite acquerellabili..

Sunday afternoon, what's better than going sketching ? ;) The air is already sweet with the sun... I collected watercolor pencils and normal color pencils and went out on the river Arno. 

The spot on the river, but with the sun already down

Life Drawing at Florence

Life drawing session at Florence art Academy!! I prepared a toned sheet with a watercolour payne's gray basis.



And the final result:

The model posed for a couple of hours. I used graphite, sanguigne and sepia. I have to pay more attention to the lower part of the body, and foreshortening in general. But fun with some color compared with the use of sole graphite.
