I was so excited to do my first Masters study (since college actually). This is "Mussel Fishers at Berneval", 1879, by Renoir. I figured he would be a great study in edges.

The progress I am showing, which is in no way close, is a 24" x 16" oil on linen. I can see that the color varies greatly between the scanned book photo and my digital photo of my canvas. I also notice I need to work on the youngest girl's face. Some of the charm is missing.

Please note this is in progress and there is much to do yet. But it has been a wonderful lesson.

Comments welcome. Thanks!
