Daily Sketch No.122 Angles and Steps, Barga Vecchia, Tuscany

The attraction of this vista was the angles of the rooflines and the lines of the steps leading up to the sunlit house at the top. The rest of the scene was in shadow making the sunlit house even more of a focal point.

Daily Sketch No.121 Market under the Stars, Barga, Tuscany

Throughout most of July and August Barga has a ‘Market under the Stars’, basically a normal market with a bit of extra tack! that is held every Wednesday evening until midnight. Great for atmosphere rather than the quality of the goods, it is a good chance to meet up and have a drink after a very hot day. This sketch was from memory which usually turn out better sometimes than working from life!
