Illustrato Schizzi di Italia VII
Some of the plants Linda and me got to see while walking from Via Merulana right to Via Delle terme di Tito, Via Nicola Salvi (this is where we could see the Coloseo), right to Via Cavour, Via Giovanni Lanza and then back to the B&B at Via Merulana.

Not into detailing, but I know you get the idea.

There are still so many things to draw from my Roma archive photos. I’ve yet to draw the cafes, the many beautiful windows, the streets, the plants and what not.
After Roma, it will be the Vatican City.

Illustrato Schizzi di Italia V
The visit to Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome, Lazio, Italia, opposite the B&B. Here’s a winged Italian permanent resident, not too sure whether it’s Andalusian or Blue Barred Holle Cropper. They are all pigeon to me, no matter what type. Haha, this reminds me of Colgate.
Anyway, I stick a receipt of postcards that I bought opposite the piazza. 4 postcards for 2 Euros!
Will draw the basilica next, well if I’m up to it, because the architecture is so great. Detailing might takes awhile.

Illustrato Schizzi di Italia IV
This personal project is actually an illustrated scrapbook of my trip to Italy last March 2010. I just got around to do it because during my trip I was busy taking pictures and not much time to stick around a place to sketch.
Me getting myself connected to the internet to keep in touch with people at home. Background: the building where B&B Maggiore is located with roughly some details on the building. And a simple road map of where it’s located. Eh, I forgot to add Via Merulana! Lol. Later lah.

Illustrato Schizzi di Italia I
This is just for my keepsake of the trip to Italy and I will only draw in this journal when time permits. I am currently working on the JKM/Unicef book covers illustrations; have so far finished 7 out of 14. Hopefully to complete all by Sunday.
All drawings of Illustrato Schizzi will be based on pictures that I took during the trip. I am using Mori Art de Vienna Sketch Journal. Size is A4, weight is 150gm and it’s acid free. I got it for RM14 only. The papers are quite good for light washes of watercolor.
Ciao! Buonanotte!
