New Art

Lady Agnes

It’s been quite a week…studying under the master, John Singer Sargent! Yes, his color palette is SO different from my own, but that was a good thing for me, to get out of my comfort zone and try something new.

Lady Agnes – 9 x 12 inch acrylic painting on Ampersand Art Panel (this painting is reserved)

This portrait was inspired by one of Sargent’s paintings. I really loved the contrasts of light and dark here, something that is so prevalent in Singer Sargent’s formal portraits. I also loved creating her very feminine dress, not to mention that jewelry!

I enjoyed painting with his palette so much, that I did one more, a combination of my style and his. I’ll be back soon to show you…
