Sketches
I have always liked making exercises and sketches in order to establish ideas and to handle the painting tools with ease, it is also a divertimento. I usually use different paper board, water colour paper and diverse colour cards. There is a further advantage too: these works can be done onto a lot of supports. It is better to work quickly as the exercises have to be solved just in a few minutes so the paint-strokes are firm and both the shape and the lines are merely suggested.

Usually, these sketches are either forgotten in a folder or discarded in the wastebasket, but as simple as these can seem to us, sometimes it is so really instructive to have a look at them from time to time. They tend to be inspirational as they keep the memories alive.
