If you don’t feel creative in Italia, you must be dead.
There’s nothing like some time in Italy to fire up your muse. Everywhere you look, it seems, there is something to admire and inspire.
I was reminded of this during 3 weeks of work on TV commercials in Milan, Sarnico, Sulzano and Castelrotto (Kastelruth) in the Dolomites. (more on the commercials later)
I spent an Easter Sunday in Milan’s Piazza del Duomo, trying to capture the square and it’s magnificent cathedral in a drawing. The drawings follow.
One of the joys of Italian life is how they use public spaces, especially on holidays as a combination living room, game room, debating class, social club, performing venue and restaurant. What a great and relaxing way to spend a day.
What I learned was that the Duomo building was best recorded in context with the surroundings. I also learned to draw with one hand while holding gelato in the other.
