Homage to Rubens

6"x6" mixed media on gallery wrapped canvas 3/4"thick

I enjoyed the "Homage to Guercino" piece so much I decided to look through some books with my favorite Masterdrawings and try a similar piece. This piece is also done with an oil wash on canvas, red & umber chalks, sienna inks, and a gold ink rub on the corner areas for that look of antiquity. I quickly realized the difficulty of drawing in chalks on canvas with even a fairly smooth tooth - still necessitates simplifying!!
