THREE PORTRAITS BIA DE' MEDICI

I painted the famous Bia de' Medici, by Agnolo Bronzino, in Analogous colours, Original colours & Contrasting colours, using the technique of layering, blending & scumbling and the background using impasto & sgraffito. It was my first time painting and I was quite stressed at the beginning, but I am quite proud and satisfied with the results. I like painting now. It was rather challenging painting Bia de' Medici's dress but I think I overcome the struggle. The instructions for this project is right below if you thought of trying it yourself.
