Michelangelo.......not bad of a painter.

This is my version of the Study for Libyan Sibyl from the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo it is done originally in red chalk drawing 1510-11 .



This is one of my favorites, many you may wonder why the chalk is male and the painting ( fresco ) is female. well back in the day only males were models, like in Shakespeare's time actors were all male.



I enjoy anything by Michelangelo even the stuff he didn't finish, not bad of a painter too, I say this jokingly because he never considered himself a painter but sculptor. Here is my homage. Colored Pencils
