Aquarel
35 x 17 cm
Dit was zeker 1 van de moeilijkste schilderijen die ik ooit gedaan heb. Niet onlogisch want het een schilderij van een oude meester: William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825 - 1905). Dit schilderij is genaamd Biblis.
Het is geschilderd voor de challenge van The Artist Challenge - A private Club for Artist. Schilder een oude meester naar keuze.
Ik had nog nooit van Bouguereau gehoord maar wat een prachtige schilderijen heeft deze man gemaakt. De vrouw op dit schilderij heeft een witte huid en weelderige vormen, zoals vroeger vaker de vrouwen werden geschilderd.
Jee wat een moeilijke opgave en jee wat een mooi schilderij geworden! Prachtig die weelderige vormen!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt is wonderful to learn how the old masters were painting. When I do so, I imagine myself in the that artist's shoes, can think his/her thoughts. It is weird but true.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenHello Irina:)I think he handled it a little bit different then I did:) But then: I did it in watercolor and that makes it extremely difficult because correcties are almost not possible. But I like the result. Thank you for your lovely comment!!
Hai Azra:) Indeed I learned a lot from this painting and I will do it again! You can also learn a lot from doing a selfportrait in 30 minutes. I just made that:) Fun!
Thank you for your optimistic comment, love it!
Bouguereau is à wonderful painter, and you are brave to have copied him, bravo, Renate!

BeantwoordenVerwijderenHello Sylviane:) He is a great painter. I know him for a day or so (not personally duh) but I love his paintings. I hope I haven't dishonored him with my painting:) Thank you for your kind words!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHallo Maria :) der erste Satz Ihrer Nachricht habe ich nicht verstanden. Ihre Nachricht begann mit BRAVO, also denke ich, dass Sie finden, dass meine Malerei ist schön :) Aber was auch immer: Ich finde es immer süß, dass Sie eine Nachricht hinterlassen! Große Umarmung :)
Hello Ashok:) Your messages are always short but I really do appreciate them. Thank you so much!
I love this, Renate. To me, the human form is one of the most difficult subjects to draw or paint well. Bouguereau was a great master and you will learn much from copying his work. You've captured the pearly whiteness of her skin beautifully. Take care, and happy painting my friend! :o)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou,ve captured the sensibility of this painting, and the aquarelle is the best form. Congratulations dear.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis was very particular work with a really special result! Well done, Renate!!!Thanks for sharing the site!
