Manet's Peonie

     
For the past three years I have been instructed in the ways of drawing and painting via the Great Masters. This particular piece is the lower portion of a larger painting of Manet's titled Vase of Peonies on Small Pedestal.  Zeroing in on one portion of the painting allows you to get into Manet's mind and analyze the color, strokes and amount of paint that the artist used. Knowing how Manet did it put's additional tools in this artist's tool box.
