lately I have been looking at art books during school and doing some studies of the pictures that intrigue me. There are so many artist that I have always overlooked and am now coming to appreciate, such as Edward Hooper, Balthus, and Rembrandt, artist i have always despised that actually created amazing work (such as Picasso's earlier work) and artist that i have never herd of, such as Aristide Maillot. Of course there are also the artist i have loved for a while, such as Michelangelo, Da vinci, Rodin, Dali, Klimt, and such.
This is a painting by Balthus Bathasar De Rola called "Sunny Days". His most well known work is "the Chess Game".
Hooper-
Right- two studies of a self portrait done in pen.
Left- three studies of a self portrait done in oils in his early years.
Rembrandt- To the right is one of his many self-portraits and the left picture is a study i did of it. However, the shadows of my study are not unified enough.
Picasso- this is the most intriguing picture that I have ever seen. I could look at it forever. I have looked forever for a poster of it but have had no success, so I have no clue what i shall do. I am afraid to do a study of it for fear of it turning out horrid. Sadness.
A Study of a self portrait by Picasso (above) and a study of one of his clowns below it.
Here are the 3 studies I did of Michelangelo's features over the summer. They took about a month each. I finished the eye a few weeks ago but I haven't taken it off the board I sculpted it on yet. Two weeks ago I began the study of the skull and I feel like I have a fairly good start on a crazy complex study.
