Adriano,
I think I like it because -1: It's beautiful, -2: I'm not able to do the same. Even when I decide to work in a loose style, I always finish doing thin details...So I really admire what seems to be very difficult for me.

Hi Marina
I'm not responsable for my " skill "in drawing, I dont' even know
how get people to learn it. That's different for pastel and the oil technique .I'll post soon a pastel to show you how
to obtain vivid colours by complementary use of pastels.
Ciao

Welcome Adriano,
I will enjoy seeing your work on this forum. Your pastels and oil paintings are beautiful. I am a great fan of Impressionism and admire anyone who has command of this style, and you certainly do.

Hi Patricia
I'm here just to improve my oil technique. I did'nt paint very much in oil
and I used pastels most of the time.

Have you seen the Horse I worked on?

Ciao Adriano!

Welcome. I love the fresh look of your pastels on your website.

I have never actually been to Milano, but once played an early role as sculptor of the large Horse inspired by Leonardo da Vinci that is now displayed in the Cultural Park outside Milano. Have you ever seen this? I would love your review, as I never got to the sculpture's unveiling in 1999.

On page 4, post 33, of my Forum introduction, I have posted an image of the colossal Horse as I sculpted it and proposed it for your great city; originally imagining it might fit inside the mighty walls of the Castello Sforzesco. This looks very different than the Horse that was delivered.

It is a treat to have you here as part of our Forum world family, and I look forward to seeing more of your posts.

Garth

Hi Garth
Thanks for your appreciation, I din't know you yere working on this project.
The horse is in the some place where it was unveiled I suppose.
I remember discussions on T.V. in 1999, about where they should put it. But I can't see the difference from the one you have projected.
I'm looking farword for your posting
Ciao
Adriano
