i guess i didn't give my good reasons. copying masters -- not to produce a piece of original art obviously, but rather as an excercise -- unpacks the master work for the student in ways that simple visual observation can't achieve. Trying to emulate or directly reproduce the master-work gives special insight into the problems of painting or drawing - what strokes were used to create a particular form, how were these colors mixed, what does this line quality do for the lines around it, etc.

i'll concede that jenny seville isn't a master. rembrandt, duerer, michelangelo, lol really you want me to define masters? degas, picasso, van gough, frued.

i'm not sure what photography and post-impressionism has to do with the validity of copying masters though. give me a little more to go on with your idea that in a post photography/post impressionist era copying masters isn't important.

its funny you say that because i agree that jenny saville isnt a master, but she was the only one on the list that wasnt, the rest of the list we couldve chose from was frued, picassion,and eric fischl
i think my teacher but saville cuz she is her favorite artist

I really really like your sketches. (I think I may have said this before!)
2nd one is my fave and I can stare at it for a long time.
 
I don't consider Picasso a master. I suppose I might have chosen one of his Blue Period works from the early 20th Century if I had to.

In school I was always pushing the boundaries of my visual assignments. I always bended a rule or two.

Copy work bores me, unless I am working from a photograph or a collage.
 
This was done last night :)

These are unfinished but will remain unfinished;

This one I saw in a pile of never completed shit but kinda liked it as is & scanned it because it reminds me of when I first began using some techniques that I keep with me today. Early evolutionary steps in my work :)

This one was done during my first show while bands played and I drew in the back while my art was up on stage behind the bands :) I didn't get to finish it before the show was over & didn't want to continue working on it at home because I wanted it to remain as what was done at the show. I also wound up dropping some cid at the show and when I was dancing around my friend sat down and drew on my drawing. He told me he ruined it and that's why I never finished it, but I like it as is :)

I have a good working knowledge of Photoshop, but Illustrator is like Chinese to me, lol.

It's a fun process :D Too bad Polaroid went under last year, thankfully Fuji still makes instant film.

I think there is a company in Europe that is making instant film for polaroid lovers.
