Hell - Lucifer2  0 2  5  watercolors on paperOf course, I could not miss this unique and unrepeatable event that the Infantry Museum in Rome organized. A great exhibition on the great artist Salvador Dali founder of the artistic current of Surrealism.

The staircase in green2  0 2  5  watercolors on paperHello everyone dear Hivers friends and welcome back to my blog. After a long series of sunny days I was inspired to representene a glimpse rich in light. So I drew a staircase filled with pots with plants from which we can see a glimpse of the sea. I also included two cats enjoying the day. So the basic idea was to represent sunlight on a beautiful typical foreshortening that would put us in a good mood, and relax us just like the two cats I painted.

Hello everyone dear Hivers friends and welcome back to my blog. It's been a few days since my trip to Poland and now I decided to share my experience and show you photos of this wonderful city. Kraków is an ancient city in the south of Poland and its name in Polish “Stołeczne Królewskie Miasto Kraków,” means Royal Capital City of Kraków and has been the capital of Poland for centuries.

Glimpse of life in the village2  0 2  5  watercolors on paperHello all dear Hivers friends and welcome back to my blog. No sea today, in the sense that the watercolor subject I am sharing is a glimpse of a typical Tuscan village in Italy. I thought of representing a corner of life in this village, with all the characteristic elements of medieval villages. So I stood under a Roman stone arch and observed the street, perhaps the main one, with two parallel rows of trees on either side. I inserted a fountain and the inevitable fortification tower typical of defensive walls. I painted a rather vivid sky to highlight the color contrasts with the ochres of the houses. I hope you like it, I leave you the numerous steps of the creative process and my best regards to all.

As old as a breath2  0 2  5  watercolors on paperHello all dear Hivers friends and welcome back to my blog. After a few days I return to share a seascape inspired by a dream. I woke up at night after having a dream in which I saw myself with a sailboat inside a narrow inlet lined with rocks and ancient decaying buildings. In the dream, the rocks and ancient architecture were similar; I did not have the ability to understand where I had ended up with the boat. I woke up breathing hard and smelled the saltiness and mold of the old houses. I think I will have to have some specialist explain this dream to me. In the meantime, I hope you find it interesting and I leave you with all the steps of the creative process.

Reflections of light on stone2  0 2  5  watercolors on paperHello all dear Hivers friends and welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing a very technical watercolor painting where I highlighted the beauty of the light flooding the stones of an ancient foreshortening. The green plants I painted emphasize the strokes of light on them by alternating dark greens with light greens. I highlighted the many building stones that take on different colors depending on the light level. I darkened some areas to give a sharp contrast between light and shadow on the wooden support beams as well.
