I love him too, he's one of my favourites, because he tells so much realism with not so many brush work, he's a light genius, and so a colour genius. The artist I look up too, among some others ! Well your drawing made me think a lot about his work
Me too)I enjoy looking through real masters of all time. And there are so much awesomeness!Sargent,Anders Zorn,Repin,Arkhipov,Serov,Mian Situ...an endless list))
Haha I'm such a noob when it comes to Art Culture ! But there are a few that made me remember them. Well there are some that I like, but I never remember the names haha ! Maybe I should study them more. I stick to pictures and real stuff, but I heard it's very usefull to study masters paintings (I did give it a go once, but I constantly change my study methods XD )
Then I recommend to look through them)To study masters paintings is a good idea, not to copy(btw it can be useful too)but also analyse and think why they made that choices (shapes,
foreshortening,tone,color'n'light, composition and so on)
Hmm I'll go and look at some. I will have to, I think. Well I used some of them to analize the skin color that some chose, like portraits I found appealing. Thanks for the good advice ! You go and make more of that beautifull art !
