Master Copy

I finished my first master copy today! It took about 6 months to complete – painting about 3 hours a session once a week. I chose a painting by John William Waterhouse. He was an English painter who painted women from Greek Mythology and Arthurian legend. “The Crystal Ball” was painted in 1902.

The first step is to do a pencil drawing using a grid as a guide.

Next set the values with burnt umber.
