Description
Lately I have been asking myself the question: “How can you become a better painter?”
⠀
When I started studying, I admit that I didn’t like doing the studies of the great Masters.
⠀
It seemed to me that I was copying and that once I finished my painting it never looked exactly like the original painting.
⠀
However, I now believe that doing so is extremely important in developing your style.
⠀
This time I chose Diego Velazquez
⠀
He presents us with an intimate scene, observed almost secretly …
⠀
The back of Diego Velasquez’s “Venus in the mirror” in all its soft sensuality
⠀
I wanted to pay homage to the Master through study. I chose this figure because the back fascinates me.
⠀
It is that part that you cannot see yourself, that you leave to others.
⠀
It is as if the view from the back could tell the most hidden emotions: mystery, expectation, loneliness.
By paying this tribute my eye trained to see the details of the figure and to use color in a different way.
⠀
I analyzed how the artist approached the light on this subject.
