Hiroshige studies

I only just now remembered this community and thought my project would be of interest to some. I've started a series of monochromatic composition studies of the Japanese woodblock printer Hiroshige Utagawa (1797-1858) to improve my eye for compositions and backgrounds.

The previews lead to the entries in my journal with the full views:

This is the tag I'm using for all pieces in this series: project: hiroshige studies

Have you ever done a study of any professional artists for practice? If so, did it help you?
