| I just went to the Metropolitain Museum of art today and I was looking at the Sargents. He painted so damn thickly, I have always drooled over the images in books but seeing them with all of the bumpy textures was just spell-binding. Also its amazing when you get closer to them that the passages are just laid on one next to the other with no pretty blending. I could go on but your probably bored already |

So you finally went? Cool! I remember you posted saying that you can go whenever you wanted back in Feb.
Here's are the threads about it all, for those that weren't around at that time:

| Yeah I'm taking classes at the Art Students league in NYC, I just hop on the subway and boom I'm at the metro. I'm thinking about going and copying one, Madame X perhaps, I'm a big fan of his portrait of W.M.Chase though so I'll probably do that one. John Howard Sanden a prominent portrait painter actually has videos of him copying Sargent paintings with running comentary. They aren't cheap though, the cheap one is $60. I know it isn't digital but it is applicable to digital painting. |
