View of the Mont Blanc from Nyon Painting

I've always been fascinated with watercolours. It is the technique I use the most. My subject matters come from my everyday life: vegetables and fruits, mundane objects, views from where I live, anything that will attract my attention because of the lighting, because of the texture, because of the colours or, simply because they defy me! A couple of years ago I joined the local Urban Sketchers group and we try to meet, once a week, weather permitting, to sketch on location. This has been very beneficial to me, I see the progress not only in my work but also in the way I look and perceive the world around me. I have the honour of being the country leader for FabrianoinAcquarello 2020. This is a watercolour festival that happens every year in the town of Fabriano, Italy, famous for its paper manufacture since the middle ages.
