Greetings from Fabriano watercolour festival (with video)

On the way to Fabriano with my travelling companion
the danish artist Heidi Andersen.

This year's international watercolour festival FabrianoInAcquarello in the small town of Fabriano Italy was truly an amazing event. There were 1400 participants, many in person, from 70 different countries. It was such a wonderful experience to meet so many interesting people, all with a mutual love of watercolour. Throughout every day workshops, demos and courses were held. The paintings were exhibited in historical buildings throughout the ancient town. There were even night time demos with live classical music and excursions to nearby attractions with time to paint and well worth visiting.

An experiment I did at a workshop about using
synthetic paper, lead by the artist Didier Brot.
I called the painting "Memory of a wave"

Watercolour painted between rain showers

"The painters" A quick sketch of my
colleagues painting the view from the village of Genga

I used a drone to capture some arial footage of the small towns
in the mountains we visited.
This is a shot of myself captured from the drone before take off.

I have been making so many amazing new friends from 

all over the world in Italy. The most unlikely encounter happened
on a tiny mountain road at the village of Serra San Quirico.
I was walking along admiring the view when I was stopped
by this beautiful lady Babita Johri Saxena from Bangalore
“ Are you Elizabeth Tyler?” she asked and told me she had been
seeing my videos on YouTube for years and recognised me from them.
I didn’t know I was world famous!
We had a nice chat and she made me promise to upload more videos soon.
