La mer est un très joli sujet à peindre à l'aquarelle.
Un film récemment sorti m'a inspiré encore plus. Les images vives et fascinantes m'ont fait me sentir comme un marin et m'ont fait revivre mon enfance passée sur la mer.
J'ai donc pensé à raconter une histoire en images, à la suite de l'histoire de l'équipage qui s'embarque pour la chasse à la baleine.
L'histoire présente un voilier à trois mâts avec un système de navigation complet.
J'ai utilisé la technique impressionniste pour garder l'apparence d'un souvenir.
J'ai utilisé du papier Arches torchòn 300 g

In March 2020 I started painting a series of watercolors dedicated to the sea and in particular to sailing ships: the clippers. The large 19th century sailing ships fascinate me. The sea is a very nice subject to paint in watercolor.
A recently released american movie has inspired me even more. The vivid and fascinating photography in this movie made me feel like a sailor and made me recall my childhood spent on the seaside.
So I thought about telling a story, a graphic story, following the fate of the crew who start a journey to go hunting whales.

A marzo 2020 ho iniziato a dipingere una serie di acquerelli dedicati al mare e in particolare alle navi a vela. I clipper. Le grandi navi del XIX secolo mi affascinano. Il mare è un soggetto molto bello da dipingere in acquerello.
Il film uscito di recente al cinema mi ha ispirato ancora di più. Le immagini vivide e ricche di fascino mi hanno fatto sentire un marinaio e mi hanno fatto rivivere la mia infanzia trascorsa sul mare.
Ho quindi pensato di raccontare una storia per immagini, seguendo la storia dell'equipaggio che si imbarca per andare a caccia di balene.
La storia vede come protagonista un veliero trialbero con un'apparato velico completo.
Ho usato la tecnica impressionista per mantenere l'apparenza di un ricordo. Ho usato carta ruvida 300gsm
The story features a three-masted sailing ship with a complete sailing installation. A mughty clipper. I used the impressionist technique to keep the appearance of a memory. I used rough 300gsm paper

Emmanuele is an Italy-based independent artist, mostly self-taught. Visual Arts have always been his main interest, including photography, drawing, illustration and, ultimately, watercolor painting.
A life abroad
Despite his artistic inclinations he took a degree in Aerospace Engineering and worked abroad for nine years. During all this time he continued spasmodically drawing at night and on weekends.
He attended evening drawing classes while working in Madrid and then basic of oil painting at the Academy of Fine Arts of Como while living in Switzerland. He eventually discovered Watercolor painting in Lugano by chance, attending a course held by Department of Culture of the Canton Ticino. He have painted for a year at night, whatching DVDs and YouTube videos, at home.
The Watercolor
“I started thinking about watercolor because of logistical problems: at home we had that time a 3-year-old child and I couldn’t leave my paintings around. Watercolor is quick, it does not smell, it dries in few minutes and the equipment is lightweight and essential, the perfect solution for a family living in a flat. When I started using it I fell in love with it immediately!”
“Why do I love him so much? Well many reasons… The incredible technical challenge, the continuous struggle in controlling the water and for the spontaneity of execution.”
In 2014 he decides to quit his job to devote himself to full-time art and begins to participate in exhibitions in Italy, France and Spain. He keeps on attending watercolor courses with the greatest masters: Chien Chug Wei in Aosta 2015, Joseph Zbukvic in Milan 2016.
Despite this initial success, due to the divorce, he interrupted his artistic activity for three years, until 2019 when, during a trip to France, he met open and friendly people who believed in him, so that he found the motivation to come back painting and bet on his lifetime dream: Art as independent job.
Live and online classes
He teaches watercolour technique in his own Art Studio located in Lecco. He's available for personal and group classes. He also publish Video and Tutorial on Youtube.
"My little life, my little personal journey, made of ups and downs, of difficulties (which mostly I avoid telling!) as well as few but immensely fulfilling artistic achievements, are just an example on how you can follow your inspirations too."
