study on Vermeer's painting
my study on the painting by master Johannes Vermeer, The girl with the pearl earring, which last week, I read, new studies have said it's a silver or maybe lead earring and not a pearl, who cares? His works are masterpieces in art history.
This is a mixed media work i started yesterday, which is in fact a sort of "shapes and colours" study for another study in oil. I like to take lessons from the masters whenever I can, though I'll never get that far of course.

(1) do not ride me!
I made this sketch after some digital retouch to the previous image (yes,
the Michelangelo's sculpture). I printed the result and worked on it. The
next one (2) is done in the same way.
