My attempt at painting John Singer Sargent's "Repose"
I painted mine on an 18"x24" primed smooth artist panel with a 1.5" cradle edge. I was able to get this slightly damaged panel for $10 while at Dick's Outlet in Illinois.
I found this to be a challenge but I enjoyed painting it.
The original hangs in the National Gallery of Art in DC. I was able to get a nice print while at their museum. The print is what I used to get my color matching. No, I didn't draw this on my board. It would have taken me hours. I just wanted to start painting! I took a picture of the print with my camera and then enlarged to my panel size in Adobe Photo. I printed (in sections) onto plain computer paper. Then I transferred to the panel using Saral transfer paper.
