Francesco Fontana: Watercolor The Italian Way
You see, for almost three decades he’s been creating and refining a method that he calls Alla Seconda — a technique for capturing the essence of your subject using only what touches you emotionally.
The method is based on using your memory rather than simply translating what you are observing in the moment.
The first steps involve taking a camera snapshot of your subject, then creating a sketch to work from. Then the real magic of Francesco’s technique begins to take hold.
