Studying painting masters

I am a firm believer in learning the fundamentals in any subject your interested in doing, also learning the history of the topic is just as important. I constantly look at the greatest painters in history and study their work and try to implement something from their workflow into mine.

Few of my favourites are :

Alfons Mucha

John Singer Sargent

Anders Zorn

I look at various aspects of their workflow depending on their style from colour palettes to  the strokes. Most professional artists today still reference the traditional painting masters and transfer their knowledge to the digital field which I think is a huge benefit for artists today.
