Tip: Pick masterpieces with different kinds of composition, mood, light etc.

Have fun!

And another one.
I still have much to learn, but I had fun drawing and it doesn't look that bad.

Painting is from Albert Bierstadt. No, not Bob Ross.

Forced myself to only use a paint brush to try this out! It had a lot of values and detail I tried to get down as well as not focusing on detailing every little thing but focusing on the big picture ;-;
and tons of different hings in this, stone, cloth, metal. so much xD

So here's my study of Napoleon Crossing the Alps by Jacques Louis David!

what I learned : I suck at picking the right colours but was great fun and found a bunch of interesting "old masters" i didnt even know existed.
