My Special Time for Fabriano in Acquerello

I enjoyed my demo in Bologna, Italy for the international watercolor festival

The challenge I set myself? Starting from a life sketch done in a park, in pencil and monochrome. It's one of the things I teach in my studio classes, on Zoom, and in my workshops. Thanks for joining me! I'll see you at my next sessions! Check my Next Events

Faces and Stories in Watercolor

Last year I painted a couple of commission portraits in watercolor. This made me want to paint the human figure again after years of landscape and plein air.

Francesco Fontana American Breakfast (with Flora) 

2018, studio watercolor on paper, 11 x 16 inches,

My idea is to tell stories. The girl in red t-shirt having breakfast is one of the first paintings of 2019 devoted to this new research. It is inspired by the visit to America last summer, when I took my little girls to meet their uncles and cousins ​​States side. A very exciting encounter!

The matter of fact that watercolor portraiture is not so common adds thrill to my challenge.
