Faleria, Italian Hill Town, Street

Moving a little bit away from the portraits I've been working on, this is obviously a street scene. The street being one in Faleria, Italy. Faleria is a really interesting place to walk around as half of the town is in ruins (from an earthquake in the 1950s). I went there in May 2005 and took lots of photos.

Ink Detail

Sogno

This is a sketch from way back in September '09, and I've just edited it slightly in Photoshop to enhance the colours.

New ink sketches

These are my second bout of drawings from this portraits (drawn from memory/imagination). Again these sketches have been done in ink on watercolour paper. I guess you could say I have a thing for bright colour, and I have enjoyed experimenting in these sketches with different colour combinations and tonalities.

Ink idea

Here's a series of ink sketches made on various types of watercolour paper (including my favourite Fabriano) that I made this week (actually on Thursday 11th Feb '10.)
