I love your copies, Catherine!
ReplyDeleteThat is something I always wanted to try. Where do you find your reference photos?
Thanks for stopping-by my site and Happy New Year to you.
Take care.

Hi Kim,
DeleteThanks too for visiting. I loved painting copies – very time consuming but you learn a lot and wind up with a museum on your walls! When using photos, I usually compared them to the original (lived in Paris at the time). I never found one where the colors were totally accurate. Maybe nowadays the Google art project would help – at least for close-ups of the brushwork.
All the best,
Catherine
Great post!!.
