This is a master painting study of hands done for the Artistic Anatomy and Figuative Art Forum found here in CGTalk. Subdivision Open Fiigure Drawing Workshop 023 HANDS.
I chose Rembrandt's painting "PORTRAIT OF AN OLD MAN IN RED", circa: 1652-1654, Hermitage Museum, Russia, as a master study. The hands of the old man in the painting express a life time of hard labor and work which is something that I can relate to and is why I chose this painting as my master study. I used Painter 9, its impasto and other oil brushes and stuck as closely to Rambradts painting and technique as I could, while interpretting it using digital. I painted it entirely free hand, no grid or use of color picker. The works in progress for this master copy can be found in my sketch book anatomy thread. Hope you enjoy. Take care Glenn
