Getting in my darks and today I was going to make sure my darks were plenty dark! Lesson learned!
Oh my - just look at how dark that skin tone is against the white canvas but I stuck to my plan!
OK.....it may be a hair darker than the original but I was happy to have finally gotten my darks dark enough!!
Fisherwoman from Valencia (original by Joaquin Sorolla)
I have to say I really enjoyed painting this portrait today. The colors are so yummy and Sorolla's style of bold loose brush work is wonderful!
Gorgeaous portrait!
ReplyDeleteI do love Sorolla. His light is always so beautiful.
I like the idea of copying masters'portrait, You seem to learn a lot. (should try it too)
