Rio Della Misericordia, a quiet canal, next to Campo de Ghetto Novo.
1690 / Rio Della Misericordia // Venice
1688 / San Giorgio Maggiori // Venice
San Giorgio Maggiori, another of Palladio’s masterwork.
1687 / San Marco / Venice
North facade of the Basilica, Piazza San Marco. Another point of view done by Louis Khan when he was in Venice.
1647 / Amalfi from the Ferry / Italy
Another view of beautiful Amalfi, this time from the boat.
1646 / Chiesa Nuova / Positano
Loved this little alleyway on the back of Chiesa Nuova: full of wires, dirty colors and contrasting forms and shadows.
1645 / Marina Grande / Sorrento
Marina Grande or Sorrento’s beach: loud music, totally packed, a bit smelly, but a funny, colorful and eclectic atmosphere.
1644 / Piazzetta / Castellabate
Having dinner at the piazzetta of Castellabate. This little village was put on the map for being the main scenario of the movie “Benvenuti al Sud”.
1619 / Atrani from the tower / Amalfi Coast
Another sketch done on the same place where Master Louis kahn ,was drawing, back on 1929. It’s so exciting to follow his steps! The manager of the tower restaurant was nice and let me sit on the right (now private) spot.
I would draw every corner of Atrani, love this place. Feel so lucky for being here for hours and seeing how the light slowly changes. every corner is a (pleasant) surprise, sometimes I cannot avoid saying to myself “uau!!”.
Architects and urban planners should learn how simple and amazingly buildings are harmonically adapted to the landscape in such an human scale!
1079 / Swans, ducks and a garden / Viveros // Valencia
Yesterday evening I went for a stroll at one of the gardens of the neighborhood, where did a quick drawing of one of its alleys (central sketch). Then I stopped at the duck’s lake, where, I though I was drawing the birds with black ink ( it was very dark ). After arriving home, I realized that the ducks and swans at the notebook were actually red! I like the composition, anyway!
a fresh drawing everyday
