There were 2 groups, free style and reproductions. Valentina participated in the free style category, street painting an image of herself with her cousin. The photo that inspired the street painting was taken at Grazie, the day after the Italian competition. Valentina told us that this is the first time she has done a self-portrait. She said it felt strange, drawing in her own face, but many people recognized her as she worked and enjoyed it. When I asked if her little cousin has ever street painted, she told me that she is only 5 years old, but yes, she has done some drawings in the kids' sections at different festivals. Valentina hopes that they can create a street painting together some day!
