Studying the 50s and 60s. Part I

This is the only the beginning of an ongoing exercise I made for myself. I had gathered a bunch of photographs from a friend's family. They are absolutely gorgeous already as photographs, but I cannot help myself from trying versions of my own.  I know some of the people in these photographs or at least have mutual connections of some sort, I feel a lot more inspired to do these as well because of it.

Using these as an exercise for speed, color, design, style......or just whatever I feel like practicing on the day of. They are fun to do anyways.

It can be anything

Don't waste your paints..

especially your oil ones. Haha. At least the reason I am always left with so much paint, is that I do paint very thickly and have learned to not be clingy to my million years old paint tubes, and always have paint on your palette.

It's fun to do extra plein paintings anyways right?

Stay motivated
