After taking a short holiday, eating some pandoro and Christmas cakes, and being at home looking after my daughter, I am ready to start a new year full of colors, paintings and illustrations! I had a very busy November and December, illustrating four children's books in only 40 days... but I did it without missing my delivery dates :-) I spent these few January weeks finishing my last watercolor (you'll see it in a few days, as soon as I take the photos): I am thinking to use it to do my first video tutorial about watercolor technique... Anyway it is finished now and I am open for commissions again: if you wish the book you wrote for your children to be illustrated, want a portrait of your dog, a custom tatto or a fantasy painting depicting your girlfriend, just contact me at fbonghi@yahoo.it Wishing everybody a happy new year This illustration is a custom coat of arms I did for a client....

Come scrissi tempo fa, sto imparando l'arte del disegno dei nodi celtici... Il mio maestro è attualmente Aidan Meehan, un ottimo artista ed un grande insegnante, seppure a distanza (seguo un corso per corrispondenza, gli invio le mie tavole e lui me le restituisce commentate). Questo è uno dei miei esercizi.

Last summer I had a journey to Ireland, that I love very much, and I bought a book to learn drawing celtic knots... Reading those pages I couldn't understand everything, that's why I wrote to the author to ask some explanations... He kindly answered to me, and this is how I begun a "drawing class" with this new teacher; I will soon post ...
