CLASSIC Experiments (NEW), by Rourke on Dec 2, 2011 15:05:13 GMT 1, Thought I would share my latest experiment.
I have always been facinated by the Old masters, and wanted to create a painting using my modern techniques, including my own sfumato technique I have developed. but still have a feel of an old classic. Havent worked with colour like this for at least 20 years. so this is something completely different for me. But I am happy with how the first one as turned out. Will be exploring this further, and taking it to another stage with the next, is part of a new series I am doing called 'Revisited & Beyond'
Let us know your thoughts
Cheers

Like you have got across what you want to get across without without the selfconciousness of producing a polished work.

jcmerrick thanks very much for your comments, really appreciated. and really get what your saying. Less is some times enough. Like the artist portraits I have just done belowโฆ
I think these studies will be a massive learning curve for me. that was one of the reasons for taking them on. As I get more into to them, the plan is to work out the balance. I want to take it to the max, the work on stripping it back if you know what I mean.
Thanks again jcmerrick
