Original artwork description:

IT IS NOT A PHOTO
it is a drawing!!

I want to leave a piece of Italy in Your homes

Title: Piazza Santo Stefano Bologna
done on 22: 02: 2018
drawing No. 112

Pencil drawing of my photo at 400 degrees
Bologna saw from Piazza Santo Stefano
It was my first visit to a modern art fair. I left early to take a tour and take some pictures. Mom how cold! It was snowing.
Luckily, Bologna is full of arcades and you can safely walk under the arcades.
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
