As an example— here’s a recent study I did of a piece by Eric Bowman.

I learned a ton about how to hint at detail & form without rendering, and how important subtle color variation is in making your loose landscapes just a tad more interesting!

Master studies are genuinely THE most valuable exercise for artists wanting to improve their understanding of brushwork/mark-making and stylization.

Every time I do one I learn SO much. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel, and nothing wrong with it if you aren’t passing the work off as your own!
