Hello from Italy
 

Hello!
I've recently been accepted in this forum and today I 've finally gathered the courage to introduce myself:
my name is Alessandra, I'm from Italy, (please, forgive my bad english) and I'm trying to pursue a career in portraiture and figurative paintings.
I'm aware that I have a long way to go, lots of things to learn and to improve,but... that's the reason why I'm here! I've already learned so much, just by reading through the threads, and I hope to continue to learn, with the help of all of you.
My medium of choice has been until now pastels, and I' ve recently started painting with acrylics and I look forward to start with oils, as well...
I'm really happy and honoured to be here

Ciao Ilaria,
thank you so much for answering, I'm glad to find another italian here!
Well, I haven't a real website, just a little blog, for now, but the link seems working, to me...

Welcome Alessandra!
 

Hello Alessandra,
Welcome to the forum! I'm also fairly new to the site, I also was a little nervous introducing myself. You will learn a lot. It is awesome. Best of luck to you! :thumbsup:

Alessandra, i visited you blogspot. Real nice pastel work. Welcome!

Benarrivata cara Alessandra
 

Welcome to the forum. I visited your website and liked your pastels very much.

Alessandra,
I will forgive your english easily : I'm too busy myself searching words in my dictionnary!
Your work is nice and sensitive, welcome!

Welcome, Alessandra! I see we share the same name. Though I am not Italian, I was born in Italy and people called me Alessandra when I was much too young to remember. I checked out your blog and really enjoyed looking at your work. Hope you post some of it (including details) on the forum so we can take a closer look.

Mischa, thank you so much! I finally fixed the link to my blog, thanks for your kind comment!
Grazie Claudemir! I'm so glad you liked them!
Marina, my big dictionary is permanently here, on my desk, near the computer..it's good for improving my english! Thank you for your nice comment!
Alexandra, it's the same for me whenever I go outside Italy.. they always call me Alexandra instead of Alessandra; thank you for your welcoming words and I'm so glad you enjoyed my little blog.
Well, I'm planning to post some work for critique, but for this I'll need to gather some more courage!
