Abbott Handerson Thayer Roses

The moment I seen his Roses I knew I had to copy them. Abbot Handerson Thayer did a lot of work regarding camouflage. His paintings are nothing short of genius and I learned a lot copying his painting.

The image below is my copy. It’s ok but it lacks the tonal variation of the original, it also lacks the brushwork. If you look closely at the brushwork of the original he was definitely painting wet in wet and the way the paint mixes when doing so is difficult to replicate any other way.
