Digital study of Sargent´s "Charles"

This is a result of yesterdays Czech digital painting hangout focused on study of portraits from "old masters"... This time it is "Charles Woodbury" from John Singer Sargent.
It was very interesting, especially colors. I had issues to identify those blue-purple and red-purple tones...
I would like to use gained knowledge in some of my own paintings...

First digital study in the New year :)

After some time... here comes the new year. My wish is to paint more and better... :)
Here is my digital study of traditional painting reference. I´ve lost the link to the original picture... shame on me...
I was trying to catch the color and the traditional looseness. Added also texture of canvas, just for effect...

Done in CS4, Huion tablet, 1 hour of study work...

Digital studies of "classic art"

I really like the painterly style of David Cheifetz so I´ve made few studies of his paintings. Not easy to fit the style, colors or the brush texture/work.
Anyway, it was fun and I would like to try it more often. Maybe also with my own still life and acrylics...will see...
Here comes my studies, half hour each....

Old master digital study - Patroclus

Here is my second (maybe) study of "old master". Inspired by "Level Up!" activity managed by conceptart.org portal. 
The original piece is an oil painting called "Male Nude known as Patroclus" from Jacques Louis David. My digital study took me more than 2 hours and it was really fun. No tracing and no color picking from the original picture. I´m quite satisfy with colors but the anatomy and proportions were quite a challenge...
Hand and foots doesn´t look right, mostly because I didn´t want to invest more time into them...
Any comments, tips and critique will be very appreciated...
