Ive recently gotten into painting and am looking for inspiration, so please hit me with your favorite artists. I’ve currently only done master copies and tutorials in the style of Van Gogh, but want to branch out. Unfortunately i didnt appreciate the required art appreciation class enough in college.
I saw paintings by a guy named Cropsey (Jasper Francis Cropsey, apparently) that stuck with me. If you look up his paintings, they might look like whatever ol’ random bullshit, but in-person, they’re huuuuge and so minutely detailed and fun to study. I never really see his name mentioned much.
