Description

"Juan de Pareja" After Diego Velázquez (Master Study)
Alla prima.
Oil on Canvasboard
5" x 7"

Took around 3-4 hours, alla prima (one session). It's not perfect, but I think it came out well for my first master study/copy! The representation of skin in the original is absolutely amazing, like you could touch it. Although I do a lot of original macabre/surreal work, I really enjoy doing more traditional realism as well :)

Wow! I'm really impressed! And the Velazquez is one of my all-time favourite portraits, along with Lady Agnew by Sargent and the Boy Holding a Skull by Frans Hals.
