My painting of Marine Storm Sea after Robert Henri
On the blog Following the Masters this month Michelle has given us the opportunity to paint from Robert Henri's paintings. Although I have his book The Art Spirit, I had not really looked at his work much before. I ended up loving the painting I chose, "Marine Storm Sea". Before I finished the two studies and my interpretation of this painting I was sure I could feel the surge of Mr. Henri's sea.

I swear to you every time I take a photo of my work it looks different, like I've changed the settings such as the lighting settings ... and I have not. Any suggestion's?
Beautiful Nancy
ReplyDeleteI haven't been checking my blogs lately...That seascape is some gorgeous..will be back on a more regular basis for sure!
What a great idea - I spent my morning working on a seascape and so really enjoyed seeing this. I think that copying the masters is a wonderful way to make progress. Maybe once I get through this landscape thing.....
