Here is the drawing of Alois.
In this drawing, I tried to attend the hints you gave me in your answer after I sent you the drawing
“Head of an old Woman – 79 years of life in her face“…
Every day I am trying to get better in art! …
Sono una signora di 61 anni, da molto tempo disegno e dipingo ad olio e acquerello ma una tecnica vera e propria non la ho, sono un autodidatta e mi rendo conto che ho molte lacune , anzi troppe e desidero migliorare anche se penso che avrei dovuto decidermi molto tempo fa ad iscrivermi a dei corsi come drawing academy, sto studiando anche la lingua Inglese per poter comprendere di più, in passato ho studiato su libri, ma è molto duro capire e d eseguire senza poter vedere dal vivo l’esecuzione della prospettiva lineare e ancor di più aerea e del colore, le proporzioni. Sono molto attratta dai lavori degli antichi maestri, e spesso mi demoralizzo e penso che sono una nullità guardando i loro lavori…
It has been a long while since I showed up at the Drawing Art Academy. However during that period my skills have developed, and I would be more than happy to hear your opinion on an artwork that I am working on and is still in the sketch phase…
I enrolled in the Drawing Academy course to learn art and improve my drawing skills. This course helped me with traditional drawing techniques. Also, I learned how to render tonal values in pen and ink. Now I can use these new skills in my art.
The drawing course helped me to see things differently, which allows me to express myself more fully…
I would like to say a big thank you to both Old Masters Academy and Drawing Academy for their wonderful courses, without whom I wouldn’t have come so far.
Four years later I would like to share part of a much larger painting to show detail of the women’s faces, I would not have been able to reach this level without your help.
