Well here is the drawing I did in Parma for the exhibition that was held on our last day there. I did it with conte crayon, and it’s about 28 x 40″. As you probably can tell, it’s a sort of explosion coming out of a mossy mass with a fountain-like face. I drew from insects and feathers I collected from everywhere we went, and the fountain was from the botanical garden in Parma, that is from my understanding, the oldest botanical garden in Europe.
Now that the trip is over, I am going to begin working on the prints for the Portland show, whenever that is I’m not sure. The entire experience in Parma was ridiculously amazing. All of our teachers were magnificent, all the places we went were gorgeous, and all of the people were super friendly.
