Arnovecchio Workshop wih Sandro Sacchetti (first Part)

Last Saturday I took part in a workshop held in a small natural area near my hause by the naturalistic artist Sandro Sacchetti. We didn't draw much from nature, the first part was about very general indication about drawing and the course was meant for very beginners. But anyway the weather was fine and I had pleasure sharing time, attention and passion with other people. These are the "products"

Next week there will be the second part!

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

Montalbano dalla Torre

Ecco uno sketch estivo, fatto per lo più con le matite.

Here is a recent sketch with color and watercolor pencil. It's about 15 cm long.

Villa Bardini

Vista di Villa Bardini e costa San Giorgio da un punto privilegiato: è infatti stato fatto durante la giornata del FAI 2013.

Here's a sketch of Villa Bardini, I think about forty minutes. I could enter the Villa thanks to the "giornate del Fai". I visited the garden and also the temporary internal exposition.
