René Gruau - Mixed Media Master Study

I had so much fun doing this time-lapse Mixed Media Master Study for our Studioworks community and I’m excited to share it with you! In this lesson, will hear me guide you through my process and also reflect on what this artist, René Gruau has to offer us.
As you know, I am a firm believer in studying Art History and learning from the amazing legacy of artists therein, so I hope you go ahead and try your own Master Study!
René has hundreds (if not thousands) of illustrations and paintings to choose from so check out our Pinterest Board for more inspiration!
Hope you enjoy!

This is beautiful. For deep black I like to paint with ink, ink and watercolor are so fun to work with together.

His name was re-nay Grew-o. And , yes, he was an amazing illustrator!

Honestly, I think the intense black in Rene's dress takes away from the curves, whereas in your painting (even though you were going for intense black as well) the variations of the black (highlights and lowlights) actually definse the curves much more and makes the image look that much more feminine. I even looked up the painting just to make sure that the lighting wasn't off and I was viewing it correctly - and after looking it up, I sitll feel the same way. No offense to Rene Gruau or his fans - it's just my opinion.
