I was looking at my John Singer Sargent book yesterday and today I decided to do an exercise in white based on his painting Fumee d'ambre gris. It's so many shades of white with a few spots of color. Here is my rough beginning. I've got to get to the movies with my husband now, so I'll work on this more later. This is a large canvas 30" x 48" - It's been so long since I've done a large painting. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm dying to see how this turned out. I'm already loving it at this stage.
Sargent made amazing things happen with the simplest of strokes, didn't he? I was lucky enough to see his work in Detroit in the late 70s.
Anyway -- very intrigued with this one.
