And these are the words accompanying yesterday’s painting.

Monday Drawing #2
Not in the best mood for writing, I decided to draw poppy flowers instead.
Escaping
Make Your Own Fairytale #3
What’s the story behind this drawing and the words that come with it? And what about the riddle? Have fun!
Make Your Own Fairytale #1
What the title says. Use my painting and the words on it to create a fairytale.
Before and After
Drawing away toward new destinations thanks to a brand new app (for me), iPhoto.
Una finestra su Rovigno
The Original Image
A picture I took two years ago when I visited beautiful Rovinj in Croatia.
I painted the picture with Brushes for iPad and added some blank space I’ll use later.
Then I worked on the altered image with iPhoto, changing the light and the color saturation.
On the iPhoto layer I applied the Paint.NET ink filter. I used the blank spaces to add the image’s title and my name.
Finally, still using Paint.Net, I changed the color saturation again and applied the oil filter on top of the inked layer.
I went back one more time on Paint.NET and I applied the oil filter directly on the picture altered with iPhoto, skipping the inked layer.
Draw Away #4
Here we go again. I enhanced the color contrast and applied ink and oil filters back and forth until I was happy with the results.
Pink Hope
My Cherry Blossom
Draw Away #3
Still having fun with Brushes for iPad and Paint.NET.
Hamlets and Flowers
Finestra e Piante Grasse
Draw Away #2
It is incredible what it can be achieved by simply altering the light contrast in a drawing. In the next two examples, I also applied a sketch and oil filter.
Come See the Poppies
Country in Red
Le Me #2, Whiter Than White
Yesterday it was a great day. Italy won against Germany and advanced to the final on Sunday. Pax got its first review on Amazon and Goodreads. I decided to celebrate with purple highlights. Photo manipulation came later at night, when I was too excited to go to sleep.
This is me, with less color than usual and sketched with Paint.Net.
Foodscaping
Recently, among many of my friends there’s been lots of talking about juice dieting and today, by sheer coincidence, I found an artist who does foodscapes. I was impressed by his work and I wanted to create something in the same spirit. This is my humble attempt. Enjoy your juice!
