Hiroshige studies

[mekare]

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?

This is a great idea! I imagine a formal study of a master's work would provide some high quality insight. I should try it sometime, as opposed to my usual tactic of merely staring in awe at artwork I admire. xD

Do you feel you've gotten value from the practice?
