John Singer Sargent Study

A good artist friend of mine improved his skills by trying to copy specific classic artists. Unfortunately I can only remember one of the artists he studied from (John Singer Sargent) but nether the less I figured that the rest of today (or maybe the week) would be focused on one of his paintings.

This pieces is going to be one of his self portraits. Not really looking forward to his other studies but if it helps me become a stronger artists I will have a go.

I have begun by laying down the base colours and blending the background. No vector shapes were used in the making of this image. To see the original source visit wikipidia an type in John Singer Sargent.
