Picture Books in Winter

This was an assignment to copy a work from a Golden Age Illustrator. I chose Jesse Wilcox Smith. The painting I chose was Picture Books in Winter. The first image is her painting.


First I did a line drawing of Picture Books in Winter, completely freehand no tracing.


I then had to freehand a value drawing in Charcoal.



And the final part of the project was to do a painting. This painting was done in acrylic paints watered down to be more like watercolors.
