This is the most relaxing part of my travels...home base Castellammare and from there to visit all the different beaches, like here on my sketch you can see a part of Cala Rossa (named after the red stones).
While I painted, a nice Austrian couple came by with their Kayak and I still could insert the kayak into my sketch, as at that time I was still about to do the pencil drawing.
Here is my on site photo (the kayak has already left at that time...)
Cala Bianca, which is close by is also a very scenic and an even more wild place. You have to climb a lot to get there. The day we visited Cala Bianca the water was too agitated and not as clear as it is in Cala Rossa.
I made a sketch of my small swimming glasses and in Castellammare I had to paint the hibiskus I saw in a garden.
Then from my balcony I sketched the neighbours rooftop terrace. A nice guy is living there, giving me a smile and telling me buongiorno every day...
I did not paint the pot with basil on his table. Everyone here has a fresh basil plant somewhere around the house or on the table or a chair in front of the house (to get enough sun). I already sketched the "holy basil" last year in this post (click to see).
Here is my full double spread with three different subjects:
As long as I am here I enjoy the excellent cuisine...let's go "...mangiare, capito!"
to be continued...
