A study I did a while back after Norman Rockwells "Freedom to Worship" A4 graphite on bristol board...about 5 hours I think. Did it as a exercise in drawing wrinkled faces and hands

This is a copy i did of Andrea Del Sarto's head of the Madonna.

@panchosimpson Those are simple wonderful such movement and energy, its nicely captured. Keep up the good work.

@mcarmbk, that looks very good. Only thing I notice is around the bust it seems to have gotten darker than the original. Keep it up.

Here is a charcoal study

Both looking great! Very interesting watercolor art! I like the ideas that you make in doing such art! The colors are good as well. keep it up.

Wow, what a beautiful thread!
QT_Melon: your Sargent is just perfection itself. I wish I had a 'Sargent brush', you don't seem to need one!

Here are some of the studies I did recently. Incredibly insightful!

A Bouguereau - 'Êtude Tete de Jeune Fille', a J. S. Sargent - 'Tramp', and a Winterhalter - ' 'Princess of Wales' (which I am still working on), [UPDATE] and a Roka (not sure what the name is, he did a lot of these)

Best of luck and inspiration to all of you,

Ana

Photos by phone, so the image quality is poor

Hey,

This is my first master copy attempt and first post here. I've been lurking for awhile. I'm not done, just wanted to get some feedback since I've done the face and I'm not totally happy with it, but not sure why.

**ClassicalGIRL** · June 27th, 2011, 06:30 AM

Ok heres a couple of ones from me ... I mostly love to study these guys , they knew their stuff !!! and then some ...the first is Mr Bougereau's 'Êtude Tete de Jeune Fille' - Oils on canvas a study of H Drapers Water nymph! ~ and the last needs no intro in my book : ) Really nice works going on in this thread!!

**Black Spot** · July 2nd, 2011, 08:15 AM

Philbeam, the angle of her eyelid (lashes edge) should be more horizontal.

Here's one I didn't finish that I did last week.

Close up - I scribble a lot.

**Pilbeam** · July 3rd, 2011, 04:09 PM

Thanks Black Spot! I think that's exactly what's wrong. I just couldn't see it.

**Artificial** · July 15th, 2011, 09:12 AM

Phone picture quality is poor. When i've fixed the last details I'll make a picture with a camera.

**ClassicalGIRL** · July 16th, 2011, 04:13 AM

Artificial - Wonderful copy , curious is this digital or paint ..?

**Artificial** · July 18th, 2011, 03:46 AM

It's paint. I'll post a better picture as soon as i've finished some more details (curtain en jewelry). Working up to madam x here.

**Alla Primal** · July 30th, 2011, 08:26 PM

I was 15 when I drew this, I'm 17 now. It took 5 hours I think.

no idea why it was framed, my parents were proud I guess. I don't like it that much.

and the reference, by Michelangelo

**KElyas** · August 19th, 2011, 06:08 PM

What a great idea for a thread. Here's my copy of Philippe de Champaigne's Vanitas with skull, hourglass and tulip

Really great thread here! Here's a study I did towards the end of last month, Sargent's portrait of Monsieur Carolus Duran.

**Splode** · October 1st, 2011, 06:49 PM

Photoshop mastercopy of a Sargent painting. took around 1 hour 30 mins.

**cadu** · November 4th, 2011, 06:38 PM

i liked the contrast, the lines of the hole and the lines and the construction of the details, the render - without words...we have so much to learn from all these drawings if only we realize it.

**Dreamwanderersoul** · January 29th, 2012, 06:38 PM
