Howdy folks :D
I guess it's spring now, cause the sun has been shining for days and it's getting warmer and warmer around here, yay!
Like I mentioned before, I'd like to show you some of the stuff we did at ArtCamp.
What was that again? "12 weeks of intensive art study with Noah Bradley" :) He's doing it again, so if you want to join, go ahead!
Every week has a different topic, a 2h video and a shitload of homework... :D
I already wrote about week 1 in an older post, so I'm keeping it short now:
Learning from the old masters by reproducing their work (traditionally or digitally) with attention on values, composition and colors. Short enough? :D
From left to right: Originals, my value/composition studies and then my color studies:

As you probably can see, I tend to go overboard with these studies... My color studies always look like a copy of the original and I need to do them faster ;)
I love the old masters and J.S. Sargent (the alleyway, 5th from the top) and Turner (stormy sea, 2nd from the bottom) are two of my favourites.

Here are some other value and composition studies and I allowed myself to absolutely go overboard with these, let's not talk about that :D Originals are on the left ;)

Also a part of week one, full master studies:

My studies are all digital, I had the original on the left and the canvas on the right and just started painting.
I really liked doing them, although it was very time consuming (I did more than these).
I highly recommend any of you who want to get better at painting to do master studies, or even to join the ArtCamp, I got so much out of it!

Next time will be more ArtCamp stuff :)
