Bugünlerde geriye doğru çiziyorum.
[Auckland'dan Murray Dewhurst tarafından] Her şey önce sayfaya ışık tutmamı sağlayan The Grey Book sayesinde. İyi çalıştığında, zaman zaman gizlice girmeye çalışan korkunç 'önce kalem' eğilimini kısa kesmeye yardımcı oluyor. İlk beyaz ne kadar gevşek olursa o kadar [...]
Villa Torlonia
Going to the park, start to drawing with my cousin and see the Reality through new eyes, what a beautiful time to spend with her! I suggest you encourage everyone to draw with you: this is a practice that will change your perspective in many ways!
Villa mı?
I’ve been enjoying drawing these old places we call ‘villas’ in my part of town.

SketchCrawl in VIlla Spada 18.04.2009
Villa Spada is a great place for drawing. It’s a big house of the XIXth century with a big garden full of amazing places and views. It was the first time I was there and from then on I’ve come back several times. Here’s a video that gives some idea. In the garden there’s a […]
