Oh Sargent, My Sargent

Some fun, quick drawings after Sargent-its nice to not think and just draw, trying to look as hard as you can, and really,who better to look at then Sargent?

John Singer Sargent Jingleheimer Schmidt

Whats with these homies dissing the Frans, why do they got to front?

Went sketching at the Met the other day & saw the Age of Rembrandt show. Dutch portraiture is wonderful; even if the sitter has a face like a potato, the handling of paint and the inner character that shines through is amazing. Poor Frans Hals got no respect- all the old ladies in the gallery made a little moue when they saw his name instead of Rembrandt's on the wall label.
The last lady I just like cause she looked so un-amused; I suspect the enormous floofy bonnet has something to do with it.
