Somewhere in northern and middle Italy.

So i visited Italy last week and, well, i fell in love. 

Taken with a Nikon 3100. Edited with Polarr Photo Studio.

FIRST STOP: VENEZIA 

Venice is such a unique and charismatic city full of magic. You all need to visit it at least once before it drowns.

NEXT STOP: FIRENZE

Okay, i seriously felt a special connection with this city. You can find art in every corner of it: from original sculptures to graffitis of the David wearing goggles. 

What grabbed my attention the most is how austere this place was. Those neutral and earthy tones (my personal favorites) that create such an elegant city. What can we expect, it’s Toscana’s capital.

STOPS BETWEEN BIG CITIES: PERUGIA

LAST STOP: ROMA

Last one and not that interesting to me. Yes, Rome has a lot of history and its insane to think thousand of years ago Romans lived there and how intelligent they were. However, it’s an usual main city: crowded and chaotic. 

In conclusion:

Venezia, you have my heart. Firenze, you have my soul. Roma, you are a headache.

Here in Portland we have all these hilly neighborhoods with little garages built into the hillside. I keep thinking I’ll do a whole series of them because they can be very charming. This is a lovely one I walk by every day. . . . #visualdiary #visualdiaries #visualjournal #visualjournaling #acrylicink #drawyourworld #drawyourday #drawyourlife #visualsketchbook #sketchbookpage #sketchbookpages #pdxlife #pdxusk #pdxartist #pdxartists #pnwartist #pnwartists (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZVBIP3vFJX/?utm_medium=tumblr

From a few days ago…the snow is mostly gone now, and we have a real whopper of a rainstorm coming to wash the rest of it away. This is acrylic ink, which I am still getting the hang of…one nice thing about it is that the first layer you put down does result in a kind of acrylic coating on the paper, so you can just layer endlessly without the paper falling apart (as opposed to regular watercolor or gouache, where the dry layers can be re-wetted and the whole thing can become a mess if you layer too much). The downside, like with acryla gouache, is that the ink dries on your palette and becomes useless. Art supplies! Trade-offs! . . . . #visualdiary #visualdiaries #visualjournaling #visualjournal #illustratingpeople #illustrateddiary #illustratedjournal #illustratedjournaling #sketchbook #sketchbookart #acrylicink #pdxartist #pdxartists #pnwartist #pnwartists #pdxlife #pnwonderland #portlandartist #portlandartists #pdxusk #usk #urbansketchers #uskathome (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/amystewart/p/CYPfYGmvSx1/?utm_medium=tumblr

The only sunsets I don't like are the ones that I miss. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #_soi #sunsets #socialenvy #river #nofilter #fatalframes #travel #wanderlust #getaway #beautifuldestinations #travelphotography #mobilephotography #landscape_captures #naturephotography #exploringtheglobe #exploretocreate #moodygrams #justgoshoot #Shutterbug_Collective #igramming_india #whereisnortheast #brahmaputra #indian_shutterbugs #myshoeboxofphotographs #visualdiaries #mypixeldiary #photographerlife #instatraveller #mytravelgram #outtoroam (at The Brahamaputra River Guwahati)
