Christmas Street Markets

I know it is not updated, but still, I wanted to write something about my experience at the Christmas Street Markets of Schio.

Carla, Valentina and I took part at street markets during 4 days of December (7/8/12/24) thanks to the organization La Vie en Rose in the city of Schio (Vicenza, Italy).

This had been a brilliant opportunity for me and my friends to show and sell some of our artistic works: we exposed prints, bookmarks, and original works; we also made some decorations and gifts on the theme of Christmas. 

We met interesting people and one of them offered us to achieve an exposition in her interior design shop Officina d'Interni in Schio on the theme of "Rebirth", expected for the end of February and the beginning of March. We are now developing specific projects for this first exposition of the year. 

There are a few works that had not been sold during these 4 days of street markets; if interested, please contact us by e-mail. Bonne journée!

Hipster commission

I have a new commission for a canvas in these days: 

my client asked me for a painting of a hipster gentleman, so that she can expose it in her hairdresser shop.

Currently I've done a few sketches for the final canvas and I'm waiting for my client's opinion (I hope she likes them!).

Have a nice day and, if interested, you can check out my tumblr updates!

Month of Fear : Beneath the Fog

During these two passed days I've made an illustration for the Month of Fear 2015 contest. 

This is the link of my work on tumblr:

http://petiteparceque.tumblr.com/

It represents a banshee screaming in the fog. The banshee is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from another world; in fact, a banshee is a fairy woman who begins to wail if someone is about to die. The banshee has long, white hair and red eyes (worn out for the tears) and you can hear her screaming and wondering in the barrows. I've always been fascinated by this mythical figure and I hope that my interpretation will be appreciated! Bonne journée! 

This is the original drawing made with watercolors, indian ink and white pen on paper.

This is the final version of the drawing re-elaborated with photoshop.

Tumblr

I finally made my personal tumblr account and at the beginning I was quite excited about it (mostly because I was told that it was great), but at the end of the day I don't actually use it too much.. Just in order to post some works, but that's all! 

If you want to take a look at my tumblr:

And here are some other three little sketches I've made during these days.. Bonne soirée! 

Colored pencils, markers and white pen on paper.

Sara leaves

This is a new draw I made with one of my friends for another friend who will leave for an year of Erasmus in Leeds. I tried for the first time to draw on a photographic paper using indian ink and écoline; the effect that we achieve was really impressive and I long to do it again.

My Personal Website

During this month I've been making my own personal website, which is meant to be my business card. 

It contains my main works, a short biography and some of my expositions and commissions.

New caricatures

These are the latest caricatures I've made for one of my friend's graduation. In our group of friends we have this particular tradition of doing two caricatures for one person (one more funny and naïf, the other one more sexy and mischievous). Usually my friend Carla and I work together for the graduand, but, since this time the person who was supposed to graduate was Carla, I've done the two caricatures of her! It has been a lovely day and I'm very proud of her! I hope you'll enjoy them, bonne journée!

P.s.: If you are interested on having any sort of caricatures, you can contact me by e-mail ( federicafaccin92@gmail.com ) or on facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/federica.faccin.1 ).
