Painting a fresco at the Uffizi Museum. Busted on a repeat outfit from yesterday! Today our morning session took us to the Uffizi for a lesson in fresco painting from an artist on staff. We learned about the lime and sand it takes to make the fresco "canvas" and how paint colors are made with minerals and things. Some colors even come from tiny dried spiders...eek. While I may not be the next Michelangelo, I was pretty darn satisfied with how my bird turned out!
