[Leslie Bohoss]

Hello!

I read many postings here and I think I took the wrong way to become a serious painter, immediately starting with oil portraits without any drawing and painting before.

Now I'm trying a "classical" (academic style?) drawing in charcoal. Inspired from Michael Georges' Aurora project. (One thing I know, I could never do that.)

I recorded a program on an Italian culture, style and art channel (called Leonardo) about Michelangelo. (By the way, they make superior camera paths over (old and new) paintings, you can see the brushstokes as in a museum.)

So here is my first charcoal drawing. I think this is a sculpture of Moses, but my Italian is very, very very poor. Today, I searched on net for it, to have a reference photo.

It took about 3-4 hrs. Size is A3. The beard is not so detailed.

Any critiques are welcome!

Sincerely,
Leslie.
