In Italy the tradition of portrait and especially its teaching are totally lost, I think the best teacher is an Englishman who works in Florence...

Anyhow, I was on your site, I really enjoyed your work
I.

Thank you very much :)

I had a look at yours too, I like that you can see really big versions of your stuff - I like looking at brushwork, and the little bits you miss when you look at digital reproductions sometimes.

And..."undeservingly descending"? nope...

Hi Nic!

You will certainly learn a lot here!

I hope so...(that was my plan.....*insert horror movie type laugh*) ;)
Thank you for the welcome too.

Hello Nic!

Welcome to the Forum!

I always was in admiration before the English "non-conformism". Some fresh ambiance to the Forum with your painting!

Best regards Sergio

Nic,

Your portrait of the couple is fascinating, original, and quirky! I can't tear my eyes away from it. You make these people come alive! Thanks for posting it.

Alex

Thank you Sergio, I really really like your firemen painting, love the expressions, the directness of their gazes. Thank you for the welcome ;)

And thank you too Alex ;)
