Jan Van Goyen, Dunes, Study


I painted this instead of writing an essay. The class was Baroque History. There where many, many wonderful painting to choose from. Even though this isn't one of his better ones, my goal wasn't just to reproduce a master landscape but to see how the colors in the books changes its looks. So many times we lose colour, vibrance, values, and detail when they are printed.

To close I learned a few things about reproduction and enjoyed studying Jan Van Goyen.
