Summer Challenge - Week 3

Some more paintings and master copy paintings. I tried duplicating the look from Simon Goinard and Richard Schmid. Talk about difficult. But I learned a lot about variety in marks and composition. Also being loose with the initial layout of a painting was something I had always had trouble with. But after doing those master copy paintings, I don't think that is going to be a problem anymore. They aren't 100% exact, but they aren't really meant to be. Especially Simon Goinard's work. Unless I had the exact same brushes he had, there is no way I could completely duplicate what he made. So I just opted to get as close as possible and make custom brushes as I needed them. Maybe I'll try a different painting style next week.
