In this one, I talk about how to study an artwork that inspires you. The most productive way I know is to look at it with just one craft, aesthetic, whatever, idea at a time.
How, in this case, is Sargent using proportion from subtle color to subtle color? Is there a strategy behind it? Can I use that in my own work?
Suggested Homework:
