Preparing Painting

Nadia Tognazzo was born in 1959 in Milan where she lives and works. She has had a passion for painting since she was a child, but it is with the technique of watercolour, acquired in 1989 under the guidance of two great italien watercolour artists Anna Pavesi and Angelo Gorlini, that she expresses her true inner self. Since then using watercolour has been a totally fulfilling experience. Since 1994 she has been a member of the A.I.A. (the Italian Association of Watercolour Artists) and since 2015 she also has been a member of the prestigious Society for Fine Arts and Permanent Exhibition in Milan. In addition to painting acitvity, she teaches courses in watercolour in Milan and in the North of Italy and, during the summer, in Dalarna, Sweden (organized by the Akvarellcenter). She has been a member of the jury in the biennial international competition “Marche d’Acqua”, Fabriano Watercolour, in the editions of 2020 and 2022. She has won many prizes in competitions and taken part in many exhibitions in Italy and abroad (Milan, Rome, Cremona, Arezzo, Genoa, Barcelona, Brussels, Antwerpen, Mexico City, Saint Petersburg, Bilbao, Salonicco, Paris-Salon d'Automne 2006-2007, Ronneby, Stockholm, Leipzig, Loten, Lausanne, Aiguillon in France, Agèn, Salamanca, Fabriano, Maccagno, Kazimierz Dolny (Polonia), Happsalu (Estonia), Ulm (Germany), Dublin, etc.).
