Studying figure painting

My year 2015 at Angel Academy at Florence, Italy ended in my first serious oil painting in grisaille. I barely finished the partial face of David before I had to head back home to Finland. 


After this, I continued to study painting in Finland, copying master paintings like the Velazquez’s The Lady with the Fan.


Since I’ve felt quite unsure of how to paint figures, I decided (while in Florence) that I must further educate myself in painting human figures. So here I am now, back in Florence, in a figure painting workshop. Luckily Jered is an outstanding teacher and painter, so I am really happy to be here to learn more and strengthen my skills in painting human form.



I bet after these two weeks I’ve learnt a lot!
