Master Copies

Easter-holidays, why not practice painting? These dudes, geez. To show so much, with so little, I am in awe. I like this direction of rendering way more than the perfection of Bougeureau (though I still respect and admire, of course, his polish and draftsmanship). Using lot's of custom brushes and smudge. Never really allowed myself to do that before, I kinda always stuck with the hard round and soft airbrush... Silly. Also Bevel & Emboss. Furthermore, working more zoomed out and trying to slow down, placing strokes with intent and purpose. 

I'm trying to think more like a painter, focusing on abstract shapes of color and their relationships, my brain is fried.

Need to do moar! Take care ya'll!
