So far, great pictures!

Something Older

12"x16" oil on masonite

Another old reproduction of a painting "Mother and Child" by Camil Ressu.

Another Master

13"x19" oil on masonite

This older work is (almost) a copy of Camil Ressu' "Harvesters at Rest" (painted in 1925).

He lived from 1880 to 1962. 
I like his paintings and I have always been fascinated by the colours he used.

A few stages

Here are a few stages of the previous work -Renaissance.

Using a grid, I started drawing the image on a piece of

masonite (treated with acrylic Gesso).

Next, I used a wash of raw umber and turpentine.

Then I started to add colours. Checking often the original

image of the painting, I adjusted the colours, adding

layer after layer and blending-blending-blending.

The last image, RV at work :)
