561. Bouguereau &Young man Watercolor painting by Mariko Irie
I love paintings of William-Adolphe Bouguereau. I don’t know how to pronounce his name.
He painted skin color marvelous: so fresh and real.
I heard that old time, they wanted to paint skin color fresh, they painted under coating of canvas green.
One time I copied Bouguereau’s painting “First Kiss†in oil seriously. I learned a lot from copying his painting.
If you are interested in his paintings, I recommend to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-m92239EE8
This painting “Bouguereau & a Young Man†came out very good. I’m very happy with this. What do you think?
