Copies of Old Masters (Part 1)

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Master the distinctive styles and methods of famous masters across seven diverse artistic subjects:
  • "Evening Bells" I.I. Levitan - capture a tranquil sunset atmosphere, smooth water reflections, and warm evening light on distant monastery domes.
  • "Mont Blanc" I.I. Levitan - model the grand structure of mountain peaks, crisp alpine air, and the contrast of snow-covered slopes against a deep blue sky.
  • "Still Life" A. Fantin-Latour - practice classical volume modeling, rendering the gleam of metalware, glass, and delicate porcelain.
  • "Portrait" J.S. Sargent - learn academic portraiture, focusing on precise facial proportions, deep dark backdrops, and dramatic lighting on skin tones.
  • "Roses in a Milk Glass" D. Perrin - render soft pink petals, gentle diffused lighting, and the matte, translucent texture of milk glass.
  • "Estate" S.A. Vinogradov - work in a vibrant impressionistic style, capturing dappled sunlight, cool lawn shadows, and lush garden blooms.
  • "Figures in Space" J.S. Sargent - integrate human figures seamlessly into an outdoor plein air setting with natural light and realistic atmosphere.

• Mix sophisticated academic and impressionistic color palettes, accurately matching the tonal harmony of the original paintings.

• Render a wide variety of surface textures - from metallic sheen and porcelain to snow-capped peaks, summer foliage, and lifelike skin tones.
