Mastercopy

Learn how to copy a masterpeace painting understanding lights, shadows, form and colormixing.

Starting with a “Chiaroscuro” painting, for example Caravaggio, as there is a big contrast between light and shadow, which makes negative shapes more visible, give you a good start into understanding realism. With the right approach and execution: underpainting, grisaille, colour and value of imprimatura, palette etc… you will end up with a successful mastercopy.
