More Old Still Lifes

Shells are wonderful subjects. Pick a handful of sells - you have beautiful shapes and colors, matte and shiny surfaces, a lot of fun and a lot of challenge!

Paint the smaller shells next to fruit or maybe red chili peppers to add some color to your composition.
This painting is from a workshop several years ago...

A bottle of Chianti with Fennel

One of my old paintings. A still life is really the best way to start to learn painting ith watercolors. The subject will stay in place, the artificial light doesn't mute  - and you can paint the composition many times over and over again, maybe from different angles - and at the end you eat and drink everything! (Note: the bottle is empty...)

A Tuscan setting

                          Another of my old paintings - I seldom paint so realistic paintings today.

Autumn in Tuscany

Trying to capture the changing colors of the Tuscan countryside in the end of the autumn.

Landscape sketching

A very fast sketch to capture the light, the colours and the atmosphere...

Quick Landscape Sketching

I just love making quick sketches, trying to capture the changing light!
