Always trying to learn and experimenting with supplies and techniques, I painted this copy of the French 19th century master – Ingres.
The original Ingres on the left and my copy on the right.
I probably used a little too much oil in my copy as I was trying to get a “non brushstroke” look like he achieved. Of course, I now know that isn’t the way to achieve that effect. Also now, I don’t have any interest in that effect. So, that’s the way it goes.
I find it better when copying a master to learn, to try to have a goal in mind rather than just blindly trying to copy them for the sake of copying them. Try to learn how they did or achieved a particular thing. Such as a certain effect, how they used lines, how they balanced shapes against another, how they could make skin glow – are just a few that come to mind.

This is text that I added in with elementor. I want to see how this works so I could use posts and not pages for the content.
Here is a painting I did for a show I am having. I took photos of the work in different stages so you can see how the painting process works. One of the biggest mistakes I see aspiring painters make is thinking that you just draw it and then try to carefully fill it in. Almost in the way you would if you were coloring in a coloring book picture. Read More
