Hello everybody! Now I am nearly get enough sleep and ready to make something heroic, for example to clear up my work place anf files. Here it is a sketch I made in Paleokastriza, Corfu.

Sketches is really good thing to fix your feelings during travelling. Your hand and your heart working together could make literary doors to remembering, reliving. As you stay in a place you can do a sketch with strokes only by pencil or another tool. As I like chinese styles includs calligraphy I use a brush with ink. So the first step of sketch looks like that:

It`s enough for remembering and after strikes-sketch I dropped it and swam in beloved sea. Then it was a long walking back to Liapades and next day I continued painting. This is the second step.

As I painted green trees etc it was more clear what another strikes could make the picture more detailed.

Than I colored mountings and sky, and made shadows to create lively moving picture. If a painter want to paint in natural colors you could be disappointed. Everything will look boring. Naturallu mountings of Corfu is not yellow. But my feelings of that place is another. I can feel-see in colors the power of the rocks and grass and the picture is the mirror of my feelings. So here it is.

If you want to sketch something you should  release youself and let colors speaks with the music of life. If it is duet with your own heart-feelongs and the voice of nature around you, the picture is true and you can feel God over it.

The final turned out so beautiful! Its nice to see the process rather than just the finished work. I have a hard time remembering that you need to sketch before you draw, and that it’s a process. Thanks for the reminder.

Thank you for your attention! I can publish many works in process as you interested it smile

I really appreciate your site. Thank you for your insights and guidance.
