The art of observation

Today I have a special meeting awaiting me: I will take my pencils and sketchbook outside, I will go to the park, to devote myself to drawing from life .

Drawing immersed in nature means slowing down, stopping to carefully observe what surrounds us: a tree, a leaf, a reflection of light on the water, or the outline of a plant.

Every detail becomes precious, because it is precisely from the act of looking that the ability to capture and transform arises. A simple sketch on paper, a quick draft, can become the seed of a larger work: a painting, a canvas that carries within it not only the image, but also the experience of that lived moment.

Life drawing is an exercise in presence: it's a way to learn to listen to nature, to let myself be guided by its shapes, its rhythms, and its harmony.

Each stroke thus becomes a silent dialogue with what I see, but also with myself.

Drawing outdoors is not just an artistic practice, it's also a way to rediscover slowness and attentiveness, qualities we often forget in everyday life.
