I teach oil painting to adults and every semester we pick a master to play around with. Last semester it was a young girl painted by Bouguereau. I teach demonstration style and so it is a great tool to have a photo of a beautiful face to work from when teaching the glazing process. By trade, I paint more in the style of the post impressionists and you can probably see that influence in this painting as well. I used the face as a jumping off point, added my new scarf, put her in an Oklahoma prairie and put a red ribbon in her hair. I have several of these demonstration pieces in my ebay gallery and this piece is on auction this week ( soon to be over ) Check them out here... http://midwest-fine-art.com You may also visit my blog for more about me and my work or to purchase my teaching videos or my new book on oil painting. http://margaretaycock.blogspot.com
