MY COPIES OF TWO MASTERS


MY COPY OF A DETAIL FROM PAINTING FROM KLIMT


MY VERSION OF A VALAZQUEZ PAINTING NAMED "JUAN DE PAREJA"

I believe that a very good way to learn to paint is to copy the work of an artist one admires. This forces us to look carefully at the work of the artist. I research what materials the artist I want to copy used and what technique he or she developed.
Klimt and Velazques had very different philosophies,techniques and themes.
I have never seen these originals for my practice but I hope to see them up close some day.
