My first long pose drawing from life at the Florence Academy of Art. Five weeks of careful observation, patience, and refinement—all in charcoal. Learning to see shapes, values, and edges with precision has been both challenging and rewarding. A slow, meticulous process, but one that builds the foundation for everything to come.

My very first drawing at the Florence Academy of Art—copying a Bouguereau plate from the Bargue Drawing Course. This simple back study was my introduction to the rigorous methods of the 19th century, training my eye for proportion, shadow, and form. A small step, but the beginning of a journey!
