Renaissance Drawing Techniques
At the Santa Reparata International School of Art (SRISA) in Florence, Italy, I studied Renaissance drawing techniques & explored iconic museums like the Uffizi & Michelangelo's Museum. I learned to work with silverpoint, chalk, ink, & white gouache—often crafting these materials by hand. Below is a selection of my work from the program, including final pieces & original illustrations that blend my personal style with the classical techniques I studied. Titles, original artists, & dates are listed beneath each image.
