Nice copies from everyone...i love Bougereau...so am glad to see his pictures here..

This one was done i think two years ago...already...as i was practicing a lot doing copies of big masters.
This one is Elgiva painted after Joanna Boyce /1831 - 1861/very talented English portratist, who died very young after a childbirth.

Am glad you liked this and i am looking forward to more of the copies of famous masters.Studying them, i learned what i know nowdays...i know...not that much.. but i tremendously enjoyed that portion of my painting journey.

Hello, I personally I have no master studies (even I have them), but I desire to improve led me to go ahead, I made this copy for some time now and I think the place to expose it, I suppose they already know the work " The Thinker "by Rodin, he has no color because I was just practicing with the pen. I Hope you like.
