This is a work in progress. This is the first day's painting. I have no lines or plan you can see I just paint right on the white paper.

torbellamonaca è un quartiere periferico di roma. situato oltre il grande raccordo anulare, il quartiere appare estraneo, più di altri, dalle dinamiche e dalle connessioni con la città . nei suoi palazzi è condensata un'umanità precaria, talvolta illegale, spesso alle soglie della povertà . tra le sue mura, a tratti carcerarie, si aprono varchi che conducono a inaspettati giardini, biblioteche, centri di aggregazione. in uno di questi varchi si è inserito il Laboratorio Museo di Arte Sperimentale de "Gli Amici", supportato dalla Comunità di Sant'Egidio e diretto dalla giovane Maria Carosio. Parte da qui la nostra esplorazione nel quartiere.
Been stretching tea-stained watercolor paper over wood framing.
The large one is 16"x20" and the small one is 11"x14"
I am gonna absolutely love this when it's grouted - I can tell by the way the tempered glass looks in the center - that when the candle is lit inside or the sun shines through this - it will be awesome! However, it does nothing for me yet ... LOL - gosh, I love grout!!
The background to my General Election Piece.
A sheet of hand made paper has been stitched on to a rectangle of calico and then wet and rubbed back in places.
I have then added a stitched red graph on top.
Mixed media.
How long does it take to form. tune, and decorate an ocarina of this size? The answer is probably, "Too long to ever recover the time invested". Ultimately, the additional time to bisque fire, glaze, glaze fire (repeatedly) will put the pricing of higher quality pieces out of reach...which is cause for reflecting upon the question, "Why do you really do this?"
My husband got a new pump for our little pond yesterday. I still need to try out various different configurations and do this and that...

I grabbed stashed and recycled papers, envelopes and other ephemera to fill up the book. Since the binding clips open and close, I can always move things around, flip pages or add new materials.
Getting close to the finish for this one. Next I've gone over the table with Yellow Ochre, and then a touch of Deco Yellow along the horizon to emphasize the light source.
Then for the background I layered in Indigo Blue to cool it down. I also put some Indigo Blue in the shadows of the fruit, but not as much as in the background. Only in the very core of the shadowed areas, leaving the edges warm with the last layer of Tuscan Red.
Next scan will be of the finished piece! There's work to do on the flesh of the fruit, as well as the skin. I left these last, because it is always best to finish your backgrounds first. Environment greatly affects the color of things, and you'll find what you thought was great work to look flat or off color if you don't follow this rule.
