To our dear pets

Hi folks!

To capture an animal in motion, different sketches are needed. After these studies, our memory will summarize lines and guide us towards a pose, which, even if ‘frozen’, should suggest movement.

Thanks for your visits.

Elsa, the elegant designer

Hi folks!

In the last post, we saw the originality of a work by Redon and how letting the background of the support breathe, in some way, broke the routine geometric format. Today we see that Elsa also did something similar.

Thanks for your visits.

We have arrived in Venice

Hi folks!

Let’s observe the interesting areas reserved for the color white. This author’s sketches look like colorful ‘salads’ describing whimsical details of the motif. A festival to behold.

Thanks for your visits!
