With a desire to improve my painting ability (specifically figurative) i decided to set myself a project in which i would make studies from well known traditional paintings. So in the summer of 2012 I set myself this task to improve my use of paint in areas such as blending, tone and matching colour from source material. It has been a great learning process and has helped me improve greatly and making these traditional studies has really got me interested in portraiture and i aim to make a series of works with the skills i have picked up.
