Sargent Series

While the Tigers were busy losing to the Yankees (sob), I was busy copying another Sargent portrait. This one is of Gabriel Faure, the composer. I would dearly love to achieve the ease and looseness with which Sargent created these lovely portraits. Maybe with about 100 years of practice I could come a bit closer. But in the meantime, I must content myself with my humble approximations of his work.
So, without further adieu, here they are ... the Master first and then mine.

Your drawing is fabulous... i think it's really good practice to copy the masters sometimes... you did a great job. i love your cross hatching. xoxo
I agree with Pauline, it is good practice to copy from the masters at times. You have greatly improved from when you first started doing this. Great work!
Nice work Nancy! And what a brilliant way to learn.
Great job! It is so interesting to really "see" how Sargent did the loose drawing.
what a wonderful sketch- he is such a wonderful painter too.
He looks quite arrogant, doesn't he? You got the eyebrow lifting and the vibrant moustache perfectly : )!!
amazing portrait Nancy!
Nancy, great portrait! Thanks for the inspiration: I was not familiar with Sargent's paintings, but I have done some research after looking at your post.
