masters studies, to improve observation

I haven’t posted any of my work in a while, so I thought I'd put this up. It started out as a quick masters study, a free hand sketched using burnt sienna oil paint. But after reviewing it the next day it looked awful. So I added white to make some corrections but I still didn’t get it right.


I can see the importance in masters studies, following in the artists footsteps should put you into his mind somewhat and you can focus in on his observation skills first hand.

I’m going to try to do some more masters studies, hopefully with this practice my observation and drawing skills will improve.
