Master Studies 1-7-16

Hey all, stitches are finally out! Woo! Unfortunately I'm still painting and drawing without a normal grip on my pen, and muscle memory is making it tougher! However I've decided to not let my injury slow my progress, so I decided to train my eyes! I figured what better a time to study the masters and compositions.

Last night I took a moment to sit down and watch Week 1 of Noah Bradley's Art Camp which was targeted at Master Studies specifically, and how to get the most out of them. I decided today to take a swing at composition studies, shapes and value representations of the master's pieces. Thanks to artrenewal.org I was able to find a subject to study!


Below are some studies of Jean Leon Gerome's work, which I just did today! More master studies tomorrow!


 I'm also doing studies involving still-shots from the movie Oblivion, so I'm using movies as reference for teaching myself good composition and color. Here is a work in progress on that, been really training my eye to pick out those colors and shapes.

Top right didn't finish the ship, but it communicates it enough!
