Vermeer's Girl with Pearl Earring
I've been a member for a while now, but this is my first post. I've only recently started painting in oils (pastels *were* my medium of choice), but I love the handling and find myself wishing I'd started painting sooner.
This is 16" x 20" oil on gesso panel - done as a verdaccio underpainting and glaze with local color added last.
I had difficulties getting a photo without a glare since the glazing medium made for some glossy (and oh so juicy) paint.
In doing a Master copy - is there a rule about how one should sign the painting?
Critiques welcome, and Happy New Year!
