Study time with John Singer Sargent
Studies are something I’ve been doing quite a bit more of lately, and consequently I’ve been getting a good deal more comfortable with oils. This is a study done from a John Singer Sargent portrait, under the watchful eye of my instructor and friend, Lucas Graciano. I learned quite a bit from this one, mainly edge subtly and cool notes versus warm notes. Some areas of the head are a bit wonky, but overall I’m happy with the painting due to what I took away from it.
