Vlog Week 14: what a truly good week looks like! - I started an art academy at 30

Wow week 14 was truly good!
At drawing we did some new things both days, and I love doing new things! We tried working with charcoal, then we worked on drapery drawing… new challenges that add up to the knowledge i’m gaining at the academy!

Then in painting I worked with two different methods: what I called the layering method on wednsday and alla prima painting on Thursday.
I managed to do ny best works so far with both the methods and this reassures me with the fact we’re going to have the summer break soon, so i’m gonna be able to practice with some basic knowledge!

Friday was a special day: we went to Rome to see Caravaggio’s exhibition in Palazzo Barberini. I don’t have any objective to describe it a part from: incredible!
