About this blog

This blog is intended to showcase daily speedpaints - however, I don't intend to upload just any speedpaints. Instead, I want to try to sit down every day and paint a master study; be it Cézanne, Vermeer, Bouguereau or Rembrandt - I intend to study the works of these old masters and upload the results on this blog.
The purpose of this project is, obviously, personal improvement. First off, it'll motivate me to practice daily, which in itself will already help me improve, but more importantly I hope to learn a lot about colour theory, composition, styles, ductus and so on from these great people.

Please enjoy :)

[16.11.2010] The first master...

is *insert dramatic music*
Vermeer
This picture was actually already painted yesterday... yesterday night. With bloodshot eyes I somehow managed to keep open, though I suppose it would have been better to just go to bed earlier.


Vermeer - The Girl with a Red Hat

Well, I don't really like this picture, I suppose it really shows how tired I was when I painted it. But still, it marks the beginning of this blog, and I guess it could be worse - for example, I could have screwed up the colours instead of just her facial expression :)

E: just realized... she looks like Frances Conroy ("Ruth Fisher" from Six Feet Under, for example)
