Following the Masters

This month we are Following the "old Masters" of the Italian Renaissance.

In Leonardo's notebook there are some studies he did using red pencil on creamy colored paper. I love the palette and decided to try it.

Using a creamy pink paper with a flowered pattern on it, I drew an image of an angel from one of his paintings.

Wish it was better but...
The challenge was fun.

  4. I think the drawing is very good, Gemma. So good in fact that I can recognize her as one of the angels in the Baptism of Christ painting. Awesome job girl! xoxoxo
