Continuing the previous hatching study, I turn now to studing some masters: Rembrandt, Manara and Toppi.

Master-study, hatching with a fountain-pen, 21x30cm, at l'ESAD.

Here are two still-life studied at l'ESAD. The first one is a teapot, essentially monochrome, with touches of red for the fire.

The second one is a monochrome reinterpretation of Nature morte au pain painted in 1927 by Maurice Vlamink, and that is exposed in Musée d’Art moderne de Paris.

Acrylic, 50x65cm. About 4 hours each of them.

Chinese ink with pen and brush, about 42x30cm.
