Studies

This page includes some of my favorite artistic studies, including some messy ones because there's a quality I like about them.

I want to celebrate the progress I make in studies as well as final artworks.

Creating this page was a nice retrospective as it made me go through my archives and think about why I like a particular artist over another, and what drove me to choose to study say, Didier Barra over say John Singer Sargent (though there is a Sargent or two in there).

Latest Study
