Rubens studies

[kaini]

one of the many things I noticed when I studied Rubens' art is that he really, really loved painting, you see it in every brushstroke.
I think I'll do some more hehe.
these were done with oils on 80*60cm paper btw.

wow I love that style!

How long did they take each?

Be careful with Rubens, sometimes he used wrong muscle anatomy just to dramatize the surfaces :)

Thanks !
These were done in one session each, I'd say 10-12 h.

Haha, Rubens work is not about anatomy anyway :) , it's about colours, composition.
