Day #12 .. 14 Color Studies after Velazquez

The following are color studies after Velazquez. Reds show a bit too red but there is only one layer of paint so far so might later go and adjust by adding more layers. Wood almost requires it, in my opinion.

Day #14 Velazquez 3


 15x22 cm, oil on wood


Day #13 Velazquez 2


22x15 cm, oil on wood


Day #12 Velazquez 1

 15x10 cm (about 6x4 in)


I'm thinking of painting a big copy of the original 'Los Borrachos' and it includes these faces. I recently saw the original painting in Prado, Madrid, and purchased a big book of Velazquez paintings.
