Many of you don’t know this, but some 5+ years ago I started ncacademyofart a small atelier dedicated to teaching classical drawing and painting techniques rooted in the same tradition as I was trained in Florence, Italy. As my mural career expanded I was no longer able to juggle both the school and my commissions. So I passed along the atelier to my former and first student ropertpascale_ncacademyofart who is now the school’s director and to my friend markgucciardi_ncacademyofart who is the primary instructor and a graduate of florenceacademyofart . If you are in the Charlotte or surrounding areas and interested in learning classical drawing and painting I highly suggest you reach out to the school and experience the high quality teaching that they are providing. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #draw #sketchbook #artoftheday #artgallery #fashion #drawings #paint #beautiful #artsy #painting #illustration #photooftheday #artist #oilpainting #sketch #instaart #instagood #fineart #love #paintings #con...
