But yes, the light on the young woman is fascinating. The funny thing is, Ryan, I think the orig. painting is quite small.<br />I was surprised by that. It seems to work so well large. I'm always fascinated by how artists were able to work so small. And yet it IS a very intimate scene. As for the gown, yes, isn't it rich? I don't even think they teach the painting of fabric anymore in art school.<br />Not to this kind of degree. Gorgeous work. Glad I converted you to Leighton, Ryan. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-74861556713002341052010-11-20T23:52:46.763-05:002010-11-20T23:52:46.763-05:00Even before I read your post I was struck by how t...Even before I read your post I was struck by how the artist uses the light from what I asume is a window or door way and the way it lights up the wife. Her gown is gorgeous and I agree that it looks so touchable, that you can almost hear it rustling as she leans over the sketchpad.<br /><br />The other thing I really enjoyed about this one was the quiteness of the intamacy between them. There is nothing forced or posed about it, is seems so natural.<br /><br />I must say I think you converted me with this one.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.com
