Master paintings

During the process of learning, I have frequently copied the paintings of artists I admire, in order to learn from them. From Chardin I learned simplicity, from Rembrandt the drama of light and the fearlessness of huge and free amounts of paint, from Sargent I have learned the importance of subtlety, from the impressionists the joy of colour, and from Freud I learned to juxtapose strong warm and cool colours more boldly. These have been my main teachers and influences over the years.   Cezanne Cezanne Cezanne Fantin Latour Pissaro Uglow Melendez Chardin Rembrandt Sargent Sargent Sargent
