Albert Bierstadt "Coming of the Storm"

here is a landscape study we have been doing in compostion class.

a very talented landscape artist Albert Bierstadt.  and i did my best to literally copy everything that he did.


this work was done digitally in CS5.  


sadly there is alot more left to do but ive done as much as i can for now and hopefully will be able to come back and work on it some more.


learned a ton from this study.. aerial perspective.  Foreground, middle ground, and back ground.  always work form big to small, especially when trying to find the correct values.  You work big then work out the detals later.  its amazing how much you learn from just trying to copy a "master".
