Caspar David Friedrich Master Copy - Wanderer Above the sea of fog

Wanderer Above the sea of fog

As I have always admired Caspar Friedrich’s paintings, after getting confident enough with acrylics I wanted to dare copying it’s well-known “Wanderer above the sea of fog” as master copy. I started with a raw sienna background, filling in darks with burn umber and lights with titanium white, when gradually shaped everything out using thin layers sometimes mixed with glazing medium (glossy). From the inital sketch to the final result, it took about one month. 25×35 Cotton canvas board
