Seguendo gli amici e la bussola, mi sono ritrovata al centro esatto dell'Italia. I paesaggi sono Un vero e proprio spettacolo per gli occhi. L'accordo tra la vegetazione e l'architettura sembrano ricordare come l'uomo, quando vuole, può accordarsi perfettamente con la natura. #panoramini#panoramini_scatole_con_vista#holiday#umbria#Todi#Narni#Narnia#Lazio#civita#illustration #art #architecture #medioevo #medioeval #beautifulday #drawing #blackandwhite #fairytale#italy #landscape #city #interiordesign #dream #fantasy #fantasyarchitecture (presso Centro Geografico D' Italia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDyFd2ZDdga/?igshid=18rvf5s91bbph

Buongiorno! Oggi proponiamo una canzone bellissima di Angelo Branduardi: la morte, presentata con la sua personalità da mietitrice di anime, incute terrore alle persone definendosi "signora e padrona"; le persone allora la invitano a "lasciare la falce" e ad unirsi con loro nel ballo in modo da smorzare la sua vena malevole. Contesto meraviglioso, il tutto condito da una spettacolare melodia dai toni medievali che riporta la mente nei romanzi cavallereschi di re artù, dei cavalieri e delle dame di Corte. Buon ascolto!😀😀

i just came across your blog from your amazing art taste. how did you come to get into such classical striking styles? from your love of donna tartt i assume it carried through to other art forms. what are some of your favourite artists or themes (could be visual, musical, literary etc)?

first of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart because this ask really made my day, you’re a sweetheart.

actually, i think if i have to track down a literary origin point for my art taste (even if it’s not entirely true it all originated in that specific way, it’s truer to state i was born with it, i would roam around the louvre or versailles at six and already feel so in awe and in my element, or i would arrive in rome at nine and feel home), but the real turning point of my artistic taste was the art for art’s sake movement, walter pater and oscar wilde. only ten years later i discovered donna tartt, and i had already graduated from my classics high school and in general studied the classics for ten years - yes, donna tartt added a great deal of beauty in my life, but i was already completely part of that world, so to speak.

it’s so difficult to list all the artists, and styles, and in general all the beauty that daily inspires my life, the right answer would be, “everything that strikes me within and that i find beautiful”, and that can be literally anything, but i can try, for art’s sake :)

MILANO. THE OSII'S LODGE, Luigi Brenna

THE OSII'S LODGE was built in Piazza dei Mercanti (Merchants' square) in the second decade of the 1300s. A big solid arch of the medioeval covered square frames the unusual facade painted with light colors passing from pale pink to gray. If you look at it not thinking about a building could be just a decorated pattern . An unusual composition for Milano which doesn't use very much marble and pointed arches. A curiosity: at the center of the square the well has been placed on the "stone of the failed" where "the fraudulent people were punished with public shame beating their butt as a symbol of their renunciation of all personal possession" (Lopez, Severgnini, 1990). From the balcony of the palace were pronounced edicts and judgments.

THANK YOU @mlscottsdale . . My husband @oscars.husband told me about this news, and I am still processing this honor. . The long walks with no car, in a city almost desolate and burnt by the sun when I first got here made me think twice about this metropolitan city. Remember that I came from many years of living in medioeval cities filled with European traditions . . This city was labeled as a “utopia” in all my architecture books, and i thought to myself; -“I am here!”, I was part of the pages, and I thought it was amazing! . I was close to Taliesin and Cosanti and even Arcosanti, wow! You all cannot imagine how many many postcards (email just started at that time) to my friends and family, it was a year of a lifetime! . Because I was distracted trying to absorb it all during the 1 year I budgeted, and because I found a part time job (with potential), and because it took me longer than I expected, and beacuse I wanted to prove myself that I could do it, I decided to stay and this place home. . It was a not an easy decision, but one o am happy I did. It was not because I had a tradition here, or family members, or a network, or I knew locals and had friends. It was because there were opportunities to be participant, create more, make a difference and be present. I never imagined that one day my talents, and my driven passion (that passion that many talk about and the that moves me), were the fuel to take me here. . I am honored beyond words, and I understand that this is a reinforcement of a commitment to continue working with my Valley of the Sun desert dwellers. .

CARLOS CABEZA _ Exposition .Sacré.Galeria Oscar Ascanio 1990.

“et sans savoir pourquoi” Verlaine” 

ALFREDO BOULTON. Caracas Septiemnbre 1990Escribir de pintura y de pintores es siempre como querer un tanto invadir terrenos y áreas que no son las propias y situarse en ajenos limites que solo son del autor a quien uno quiere acercarse, porque en ese acto se falsea, se altera, se modifica y se adultera la verdadera intención artística de quien uno desea comentar. El arte de pintar esta hecho sobre realidades visuales mudas, sin palabras. Es un ejercicio solamente visual y volverlo uno texto escrito es como adulterar fundamentalmente su razón original. Querer decir algo sobre estas obras de Carlos Cabeza es una transgresión y un atrevimiento. Querer decir algo la obra de un pintor es invadir la propiedad creativa pictórica y visual del artista. Nadie jamás debería invadir lo que no le pertenece y escribir sobre Cabeza es hablar yo de lo que su obra no requiere. Cada uno en su puesto. Lo que desea decir el artista esta ya dicho en su lienzo. Esta dicho por el mismo en sus cuadros y en la mejor manera que el entiende deba decirse y no requiere de quien lo haga por su cuenta, porque nadie puede hacerlo mejor que el. Ahora bien, lo que el me ha pedido que yo diga habrá de ser lo que yo sienta de la obra que el a hecho y yo no puedo decir otra cosa que el efecto de mis sentimiento mirando su obra. Y así será, como siempre a sido y seguirá siendo para cada quien, cuando se le mira un cuadro, cuando se le mira al instante el deja de ser su autor y se vuelve de uno, de quien lo mira, para dejar de ser, en este caso de Carlos Cabeza y ser de nosotros que miramos su obra. El arte es dar. El arte es recibir. Es dar para que otros reciban la obra del artista que habrá de abrirnos mundo a la medida de cada uno, de cada quien y en ese instante dejar de ser la obra de Carlos Cabeza y la tomamos para hacer nosotros con ella lo que nadie nos puede quitar: el deleite de mirar, el goce de sentir, la fruición intima del placer de lo inefable y que solo esta en uno para sentirlo de una especial manera e intensidad y entonces es cuando el cuadro pertenece a quien lo mira y deja de ser de otro. Sin embargo, esta situación quien la crea es el artista. En este caso es Carlos Cabeza quien nos hace mirar en sus lienzos mundos personales y particulares de cada quien, siendo sus lienzos los que nos trasmiten esos mensajes desde sus imágenes, pero que se vuelven nuestros al mirarlos. El arte es dar y recibir, saber dar para poder recibir.De toda esa extraña substancia emocional de que está hecha la misteriosa materia del talento; de esa imponderable hechura de fermento y de la realización visual de la belleza que de ella emana, de todas estas sensaciones y mezclas que muchos han querido definir con palabras atinadas, precisas, adecuadas y justas, pero que pocos, muy pocos han acertado, sin embargo todavía nos empeñamos en querer definir la causa y la razón por la cual apenas un rasgo, apenas una forma, una sombra o un acento son diferentes a otros. Íntimos en buscar la diferencia de los valores y el misterio que califica esas diferencias en lo cual consiste lo bello, la belleza. Insistimos tercamente en querer explicar el valor de ciertas emociones y sentimientos de la sensibilidad humana dirigidas a percibir y captar las mas finas fibras que existen en nosotros, las cuales, tampoco están destinadas a ser sentidas ni percibidas por otros. Dentro de todo ese misterioso sentimiento indefinido de lo que es la belleza, de esa indefinición y de su creación, desde hace ya tiempo Verlaine había acertado a explicar que ella existe: “et sans savoir pourquoi”, como siempre ha ocurrido y como siempre ocurre “sin saber porqué”, dentro del proceso que se crea frente a la pregunta de la obra de Carlos Cabeza. Cuál es esa materia plástica, cuál es esa emoción y ese misterio que tanto provoca nuestra atracción y que tanto produce en nosotros el deseo constante de mirarla, de mirar la inmaterialidad de una abstracción que nos ata, aunque no sepamos explicar lo que miramos, a pesar de mirar las extrañas substancias de la materia del talento que el artista ha puesto en crear y en construir esas imagene, esas figuras que son como realidades abstractas de presencias llenas de sensaciones, de substancias de colores y de armonias que atrapan nuestra vida y quedamos mirando fijamente toda esa belleza, presentadas en la forma del misterioso encanto de líneas, temperaturas y ambientes, que a veces parecen nacer de utensilios de viejos alquimistas, como embudos necrománticos, envases de bronce, astrolabios de humo, los cuales en el curso del relato que el artista crea se vuelven episodios de oro que se deshacen en recuerdos de lo que fue la realidad de una forma, para perder su sentido y su identidad y no ser mas ella, para volverse, en cambio, vibrantes encarnaciones de manchas y de atmosferas que viven en la substancia de lo que el pintor ha dicho en el cautivante discurso de su lienzo, produciéndose entonces la figura de una imagen de sorprendente realismo que nos llama y nos atrae, que detiene nuestra atención y que luego habremos de descubrir su verdadera voz y el misterio de sus formas que han de quedar, día tras día, en nuestra mente.El ambiente y la escena que construye Cabeza tienen elementos de interioridades y de intimidades que evocan etapas históricas donde encontramos ciertas semejanzas medioevales de profundos estados de relatos antiguos parecidos a los grabados que hemos visto de los clásicos como Durero, de tenebrosos ambientes donde aparecen objetos, signos, letras y formas mágicas y que en el caso de nuestro artista logran construir ambientaciones dentro del espacio de sus telas que parecerían extrañas si no es que son de extraordinaria riqueza imaginativa donde encontramos como un regreso a la medida humana del espacio, a su dimensión, en el relato pictórico que atrae con fuerza y que permite entablar un dialogo visual en medio de estados sensibles, como casi olvidados, como de perfumes de amaranto y de sonoridades extrañas. En la obra de Carlos Cabeza la tela a veces parece un rico tapiz resucitado de un beaterio flamenco, adornado de objetos, de embudos, como de plantas tiernas, de letras, de signos hundidos en la gruesa trama del lienzo a la manera del buril que hiere el rojo cobre para ver nacer el grabado. Así de esa misma manera es el gesto de Cabeza en la imagen del relato de sus ambientes, tomando su instrumento como erizado de espinas las que van dejando sus huellas y sus dentilladas con violencia de salamandra medioeval. Fuertes, esplendidos gestos de diseños que buscan decir un cuento donde los grises, sepias y blancos, templados por la alquimia y el animo, logran crear un misterioso escenario de visión sorprendente que nos atrae profundamente. Es todo un escenario pictórico compuesto de abstracciones, vueltas formas, que llegan, ellas, como por encanto, a volverse en irrealidades figurativas..Pero tú, lector, tendrás, así mismo, tu propio cuadro que será el tuyo y mucho mas vivo y elocuente que el de quien sea. Y el tuyo será siempre el mejor, como debe ser y que así siempre sea.ALFREDO BOULTON , who was for many years a member of The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art..

A 30 days challenge for improving your art!

Ok so I’ve been looking for exercises to improve my art since I’ve been been very unsure about my art style lately and I wanted to iprove, so I decided to write my own challenge!!

Face and expressions: 

Day 1: Study of the face structure

Day 2: Study of the face as seen from the front, profile and 3/4 

Day 3: Draw some expressions using a photo reference (if you want to add fun use emojis!)

Day 4: Draw some expressions with particular gestures using a photo reference (there are really good in my opinion: x x x x x)

Arms, legs and torso:

Day 5: Study of the structure

Day 6: Study of the body parts as seen from the front, profile and 3/4

Day 7: Draw the body parts in movement (ex: for legs running, for arms punching etc etc)

Hands and feet:

Day 8: Study of the structure

Day 9: Study of the body parts as seen from the front, profile and 3/4

Day 10: Draw a lot of hands and feet using a photo reference (kibbitzer@deviantArt draws perfect hands/feet references but also poses and much more!!)

Day 11: Draw hands holding objects using a photo reference

extra day!!: try to draw shoes, socks or gloves!!

Poses:

Day 12: Study of the structure static and in movement

Day 13: Study of the body as seen from the front, profile and 3/4

Day 14: Draw poses in movement using a photo reference

Day 15: Draw a lot of different poses both static and in movement

Clothes:

Day 16: Study of clothes’ folds

Day 17: Draw a characters wearing what you are wearing or just draw your ootd!

Day 18: Draw a character in traditional clothes or in ancient clothes (medioeval of from Ancient Rome)

Day 19: Draw a character dessed up in 19(insert your favourite decade here)0′s fashion 

Day 20: Draw a character in a super detailed outfit (like japanese idol or a wedding dress)

Colors:

Day 21: Exercise on opposite and complementary colors

Day 22: Try to shade a drawing with different colors and not with the darker tone

Day 23: Try to color a drawing with a color palette (you can find great palettes on @color-palettes or just create your own)

Day 24: Use a texture on your drawings, not as background (if you are a traditional fan try to use washitape or print a texture!!)

Light:

Day 25: Draw a character with different light sources

Day 26: Draw a background with different light sources

Day 27: Try to work with reflected light (like a glass window or a gem)

Backgrounds:

Day 28: Draw a background using a photo reference

Day 29: Draw the same background using different points of view

Day 30: Draw a background using a perspective grid (not central, don’t be lazy!!)

Other things you can try for adding more fun:

Try a new tool/media for lineart, a new one for colouring and a new one for shading

Try to use gradients in a drawing

Try to draw something as seen with fisheye or wide angle

Create a new character using this

Draw a gijinka of the random pokemon this pokedex generator gives you

Draw a gijinka of one object in the room you are right now

Mix some of these challenges to have more fun!

Some tips: Don’t be afraid to use references, this doesn’t make you less good. Art imitates what the human sees!

I haven’t tried all of these challenges so I’m not telling you that your art will improve a lot, but it will definitely improve if you draw a lot!

If you all have some tips, references or more challenges don’t be afraid to add them! And if you want to share your entries feel free to post them here tagging them with #artimprovementchallenge or #30dayforartimprovement !!
