Painting and Drawing One-Year Course (n.9)

Week 10
For this week my other friend Trinh came to visit for a few days from the UK
Started the week with another portrait drawing using a pencil. (1)
For this week we had a model come in for drawing practice: this was good because we got to practice with a life observation, not a print or still life.

Tuesday, I had a day of watching YouTube tutorials for drawing skills in my independent study in the morning. Then went to explore the Palazzo Vecchio with my friend to learn more about the city and was overwhelmed by frescos covering the ceilings and walls then climbed to a central viewpoint to have a look at the city then had a glass of wine with a view of the Piazza della Signoria (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

Wednesday we did another drawing of the model. I decided to work in a 4B pencil, and compressed charcoal. (11)
Then went for a walk around the city and took my friend to the student hotel rooftop to see the overwhelmingly beautiful view of the city before the basic lesson. (12)
