Original artwork description:

IT IS NOT A PHOTO
it is a drawing!!

I want to leave a piece of Italy in Your homes

Title: Naviglio Grande Milano
done on 04: 02: 2018
drawing No. 110

Pencil drawing of my photo at 400 degrees
Milan saw from Alzaia Naviglio Grande
For this drawing I waited for a day with a light drizzle, to have the reflection of the houses on the street.
No wind due to the reflection on the water.
I love city landscapes with beautiful historical monuments, squares, skyscrapers.
Black and white give a touch of ancient and magic to the design.
The technique is simple: pencil
I use micro mines, otherwise, I would spend time tempering.
The hardness 2b, hb, 2h; I finish the drawing with wooden pencils 4h, 8h to leave very little white and 8b to strengthen the blacks and give the drawing three-dimensionality
I practically do a "very analog" white balance

Materials used:

Graphite
