Portrait of Gabrielle Cot After William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
I had to stop working on the other one, I was busy with a 3D project.
It took me a long time working on the previous copy, the slow careful approch is just too slow...I learned a lot from it but I'd rather not do that again if I ever want a career in painting.
So I decided to start a new one this week...less mind more instinct.
This was more fun and less restrictive, basically you paint with the idea that if you make a mistake you can always paint over it or move things around if the paint is still wet.
The picture I painted from is not the best so I had to rely on some logic placement of color values and layers, in short I improvised.
I'll get back to the previous portrait right after this one.
Size is 4x6in 10x15cm.
