I have to be grateful to my art teacher Massimo Fontanini, who for many Friday evenings held a course at the Atellier Crespi in Via Brera, and allowed me to know, appreciate and acquire many oil painting techniques.
It was he who proposed the first subject to draw and paint. Two “red apples” that were the first oil painting, the first challenge in oil painting.
The test was to represent on canvas two products of the earth of which we have a usual knowledge and of which anyone can easily evaluate the result in terms of: roundness, color, result of light and depth.
Not everything is perfect, but the combination of details and the painting is interesting.
