Leisure

Lithography pencilHi folks, the pencil I’m holding in this picture it’s the kind used to draw on a stone. At university in Fine Arts, I chose the speciality in Engraving and Print Techniques for the fourth and fifth courses. One day the teacher showed us in a corner of the atelier, a bunch of stones ready to practise Lithography. All these had different format, and my choosing was for a squared one. Below you can see my little contribution to this post, ‘The players’.

Thank so much for your visit!

  3. Hoy me decanto por Vernier… Me encanta esa estampa de las niñas sentadas en el césped. Yo misma la he vivido muchas veces y me transmite paz, serenidad….mientras dejas la vida pasar quizás buscando tréboles o haciendo nudos a los tallos de las flores. Qué bien captado el momento!.

    Me gustan tus jugadores, me alegro de que los hayas incluido.

    Un saludo,

    Ana

    • ¡Oh Ana, qué comentario más personal el tuyo! Este no se me va a olvidar. Como bien dices para Vernier, nuestra tierra sabia, a través de la hierba se adapta a nuestra pose plácida, en armonía con el mundo y el tiempo, como si fuéramos amos de ese rato pleno de artesanía con la flora. No puedes imaginar cómo adoro tu reconocimiento, porque hayas ‘abierto’ una salida para los jugadores de ese claustrofóbico espacio cuadrado. Mil gracias y mil besos. Mi noche estará llena de agradecimiento para ti. Saludos desde Barcelona ❤

      • El aprendizaje es mutuo. Si crees que yo enseño, tú también lo haces. Somos astros, Ana. No existen unos mejores ni peores. Solamente se diferencian, los que como tú o yo, estamos ansiosos por conocer nuevas órbitas, aunque les podamos llamar nuevos destinos. ¡Nas noches! (aunque la luna ya tienda a menguar) ❤

    • Hola Pat, te contesto desde el metro. Tu mirada es sensible y delicada. Has captado la esencia de las acuarelas de este autor mordaz y grotesco para criticar la decadente burguesia en la Alemania de los años veinte, pero de refinadas pinceladas y cromatismo. Asi es que deja algunos contornos sin cerrar y las manchas de color se funden creando ese efecto como del palpitar de las figuras. Muchas gracias por tu comentario que pases un buen monday 🌸🌷🍀🌹
