Italy
Just got back after two weeks of camping in Italy. I really had to get back to sketching like the good old days and I literally had to force myself to get into it. In retrospect, I think I managed to find bits of myself.
Verona, Casa di Giulietta
This house is supposed to be where Juliet lived...its quiet a silly place, the walls outside is disgusting with all the love notes and the chewing gums stuck on the wall....I didn't see the statue of Juliet which apparently has A shiny left breast because people keep touching it...it brings good luck it seems!
Preci seen from teh campsite
Corone
Il Collacio
The narrow lanes didn't leave any scope of finding a nice view to sketch so I had to find a spot away from the town....tatti kiya hai!
Castluccio people
What a pity I couldn't sketch this village from a distance. It was a stunning view, perched on a hill with the big mountain ( Mount Sibilini) ranges surrounding it...
Corone, my minute of fame
There was not much to do or sketch at the campsite at Preci so I started going down to this village called Corone. I guess they don't get any tourists there. Someone spotted me sketching there and the next thing I knew was that half the town wanted their houses to be sketched, luckily I was carrying some blank postcard size papers. I got free food, wine, coffee and despite my protest some money was stuffed in my shirt pocket.It feels nice to know that some houses in this tiny obscure village will have my sketches hanging on their walls.
