An exercise in oil, a copy of Diego de Velazquez's The Old Gladiator, made under the tutelage of Fernando B. Sena at Saturday Art Gallery, Ali Mall, in 2000.
Most of my classmates were indigent. The cheapest student brands were used. Watercolor was done on odd sheets such as manila paper and newspapers. For the exercise in oil we were instructed to use Canola cooking oil instead of linseed oil and lacquer thinner instead of turpentine.
It's been 21 years but this painting has held up very well.
