The topic i chose was 18th century. the artist that i found that worked in the 18th century and did work that i liked was Thomas Gainsborough. his use of form in the human body, as well as almost... dusty details in the background make his works very impressive to me.
1. Thomas Gainsborough uses oil paints and striking detail work to make his paintings beautiful and lifelike
2. I would attempt to capture his abilities when working in oil.
3. i would not use the same type of subjects. while he paints portraits and still lives, i would paint different things.
i think that this piece is great... obviously. But it doesn't reely stand out to me in comparison with other pieces from that time. The shading and lighting are good yes, but where is the story, emotion, composition anyone? I think you could do better than this guy!
ReplyDeleteCool pick gangster bird! I think that adopting aspects of this artist will add something interesting to your work.
