A drawing workshop among Renaissance sculptures in the heart of Florence, guided by athe professional artist Octavio Palomino.
An immersive experience dedicated to the study of drawing from life inside the Museo Nazionale del Bargello, one of the most important landmarks of Renaissance sculpture.
During the session we will work directly in front of the artworks, observing proportions, volumes, structural lines, and the relationship between light and surface.
The meeting is conceived as a moment of artistic research and technical study. Participants will analyze structure, anatomy, and composition, translating the three-dimensional quality of sculpture into a conscious graphic mark.
Each participant will receive individual guidance, with practical suggestions on composition, measurement, and the rendering of sculptural volume.
The activity is suitable both for those who wish to improve their academic drawing skills and for anyone interested in experiencing the museum in a more active and engaging way. Drawing from life means entering into dialogue with the artwork, understanding its balance and inner tensions while developing a more attentive and analytical eye.
An opportunity to slow down, observe, and learn directly in front of the masters of the Renaissance.
Lesson fee: € 30
Museum entrance ticket: not included (to be paid by participants, € 15)
Materials: bring your own (sketchbook and pencil)
Materials kit available: +€7
ONLY FOUR SPOTS AVAILABLE - booking required by March 30.
