Joy of Living collective

12/03/202412/03/2024 wp_1133296 Lascia un commento

Did you know that the average daily duration of programming dedicated to bad news equals that of a “normal” newscast? The Joy of Living art collective in Pianezza (TO) is outstanding for the topic, inviting us to set aside negative news.

Знали ли вы, что средняя продолжительность ежедневных передач, посвящённых негативным новостям, равна длительности «обычного» выпуска новостей? Выставка "Радость жизни" в Пьянецца (Турин) идёт против течения и предлагает нам отложить в сторону плохие новости.

Perhaps it aims to bring a bit of positivity to the Christmas wainting season in these challenging times.

On the Way to the Exhibition

I chose artworks dedicated to family. No matter how it is composed, family welcomes us in this world and helps us growing. Many happy memories are tied to our family and childhood.

Motherhood Watercolor on paper, 40×50 cm, 2020

Motherhood is a unique emotion. It is the joy of watching a young life growing. The scene captures the first months of life: a mother holding her baby girl. It is moment of pure love, joy, and devotion.

Fatherhood Drawing on paper, 20×30 cm, 2009

Fatherhood is unique and authentic emotion, just like motherhood. The scene depicts a father (my husband) in a tender embrace with his little daughter. For him, she will always be his “little girl,” even when he walks her down the aisle in her wedding day.

Caterina. Pencil on paper, 2009-2015

How wonderful it is to be a child! there are no worries, no obligations; the days are full of discoveries and joy. The joy of children is pure joy for life! This piece collects the sketch portraits of my daughter Caterina during her early years.

Venice sketching collective 2024

11/11/202411/11/2024 wp_1133296 Lascia un commento

“How did I end up here?” I was wondering in a moment of pure desperation. In that rainy day in Turin, I realized that I couldn’t go to Venice to the most important exhibition of the year. I had given up Paratissima art fair in Turin to attend Venice sketching collective 2024, but everything took an unexpected turn.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

In May, I applied for two categories of the collective with the pages from the sketchbook still in progress. I was selected for both. My artworks would be exposed two rooms: “Seaports” and “Main category”.

I decided to go to Venice to meet the public, critics, and fellow artists, giving up any other art project scheduled at the same time. For once, I wanted to do things “right”.

The 14th edition of the collective exhibition “Matite in Viaggio 2024” (from Italian “travelling pencils”) took place from October 25 to November 10. As per tradition, it was hosted in the exhibition halls on the third floor of the Candiani Cultural Center (P.le Luigi Candiani, 7 Venice Mestre).

Due to last minute problems, I couldn’t attend the opening on 26 October, nor could I make it the following weekend, and the one after that.

Friends in art

My colleague and friend from Moscow (Russia), Julia Bolshakova, also couldn’t come to Venice for due to the international situation. To send her works to Venice became very tricky! As because the war in Ukraine no courier could send the sketches from Russia to Italy, I took care of printing copies and sending them.

Thanks to social media and the photos shared by artist friends, I was able to see the collective and have a sort of virtual visit.

I have already a plan for 2025: I will go to Venice whatever it takes!

How Inktober became Cattober

11/03/202411/03/2024 wp_1133296 Lascia un commento

Guess, what was my subject this year! Inktober 2024 was cats and ink only. This is how Inktober became Cattober. The Cat-tree has also find space and time to bloom. But let’s see it step by step.

Leggi in Italiano – English version – Версия на русском языке

I used for this challenge a mini sketchbook 4.5×6.5 cm of 50 pages with a cover in grey cardboard.

What is Inktober?

Inktober is the international art challenge that connects a lot of illustrators around the world. 31 days, 31 prompts, paper and ink. These are the official prompts of 2024:

Jake Parker, the concept illustrator of cartoons “Rio”, “Ice age” etc, created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavour with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. Any artist can use the own prompt list instead of the “official” one.

Out of prompts

No comments, just illustrations. These are the subject off topic of Inktober but regarding cats. Scroll with me all bonus illustrations for prompts and out of topic.

Cat-tree is back

It was impossble not to draw at least one cat-slower among cat illustrations.

No filter

Scroll with me all the illustrations for 31 prompts. The prompts are 31, but the illustrations are much more. Not every subject corresponded to my idea in the first version, so I created the other illustrations until I liked or somehow accepted it.

Which is your favourite one?

Olimpic sketchbook Paris 2024

08/01/202408/01/2024 wp_1133296 Lascia un commento

Olimpic sketchbook Paris 2024 in progress

I believe that the best things happen by chance. This was the case with the Olimpic sketchbook Paris 2024.

Leggi in Italiano – Версия на русском языке

The sketchbook tells the moments and emotions of the opening ceremony of the 33rd Summer Olympic Games in the French capital through images.

Work in progress

In many ways a “plein air” in front of the TV is quite tricky. The framing is decided by the live broadcast, the time is limited and, aspecially, there is no possibility to stop and study how the subject is or simply to breath.

An important part of the ceremony took place after the sunset. The night sketching is rather challenging. Despite this, the fundamental steps of live sketching remain the same: observation, basic line sketch, tonal line, and colors or shadows. If you are very tired, you can make the steps 2 and 3 the day after. They are a sort of post-production in skethching.

Step by step

Basic line sketch. The most difficult part is to catch the essential lines and proportions of the subject and put them on paper.

Tonal drawing. The morning after. Watch here the sketches before and after i added the tonal lines:

Colours. The evening of the day after. If you do not like colours it’s anough to add shadows. this is the almost final version of the olimpic sketchbook.

Well, probabily I am still in time to add some lights and shadows.

Waterolor different fruit with fruit

11/26/202312/11/2023 wp_1133296

The exhibition “Food in art” in Pianezza (Italy) brought back the Waterolor different fruit with fruit series.

Leggi in Italiano – Версия на русском языке

Другая акварель ягоды ягодами подготовка к выставке — watercolor different

These are the first artworks of the project made for Zuegg Italy social networks in 2016. All the watercolors are painted with fruit juice.

More than food

The project was born from the research of natural colour pigments. Since ancient times people used plants and minerals to get colours for fabrics and art.

I started with fruit juice, the most obvious of natural colours. Than I tried coffee, soya sauce, wine and chocolate too. All of them were the excellent watercolors or pastels. The first show took place during Paratissima 2016 in Torino (Italy).

All the king’s men

Take an Inktober 2022, turn to the back cover, reverse and start again! This is how Red Inktober 2023 sketchbook began.

31 days, 31 words. This is my 6th Inktober.

Inktober’s list

Inktober is a monthlong art challenge started by Jake Parker, one of the founders of SVSLearn. September 1st of each year Inktober prompts are posted. Artsts can also use their own lists.

Cover experience

Work in progress

Previously on Inktober…

In 2009, Jake Parker , American comics creator, concept artist, illustrator, and animator, started Inktober. The announcement was made on his blog. Parker originally started the challenge to motivate himself to improve his own inking skills. Since 2016, he posted a list of “prompts” for each day’s artwork. Artists are also known to plot out series of drawings on the same theme as part of the celebration. Participants have approached the challenge as an opportunity to practice and share their art, drawing in various art styles, and using a variety of media (the challenge originally was made only in fountain pen) . In October 2015, over 1 million Inktober drawings were posted on Instagram. I am in since 2018.
