Just over a 5 minute drive south of Barga is the hamlet of Ponte di Campia. Nothing really interesting about the place apart from our lovely friends the Gillies family live here with their many pets including a micro pig (Squidgy) who is now several times larger than a micro pig! Whilst doing my daily sketch from their garden, Squidgy was happily grunting around my feet so for this reason, it was what was happening around myself that made this sketch memorable!
Right in the heart of Barga Vecchia is the theatre which has a modernist style of architecture. What caught my attention was not the building but the huge Italian flag on the outside, and adding a bit of colour in the late afternoon sun.
I bought some water soluble wax crayons on Saturday so this is my first effort. They have lots of potential to produce a more impressionistic sketch than watercolour and the colours are really vibrant which suits my style.
