Acrylic on canvas, approx 70 x 100 cm... A study that I did last evening at school. Basis was the painting I did yesterday, with the idea to find out the level of abstraction that keeps a bus as bus...

After a wonderful long weekend in Milan back to the drawing board… Another gouache on paper, 50 x 70 cm… I was experimenting with the background and trying to make a quite detailed surface more atmospheric. Quite challenging with dense gouache and layers that are not treated with fixative… still a long route to go what makes such experiments so exciting… J

Is my working with charcoal and ink influencing the one I do with colors? The first 4 above are done in charcoal, while for the other 2 I did in ink (with a brush)... the smaller in 50 x 70cm, the larger in 70 x 100 cm

combines ;)

Followed the route I started earlier this week, by combining my most recent painting (in gouache, approx 100 x 120cm) with a photo I once did, to "test" the level of abstractions necessary to express the view having in mind...

today I wanted to paint

Did today my first paintings after months of working in black & white... the first using a smaller format to become used again, and the above in 50 x 70 cm


Then digitally combined it with one of my photos, as I love it to do experiments... more will follow :)
