Beginning Painting - Bonnard naked lady postcard

The entire canvas, courtesy of my trusty Canon PS400 SureShot.
(The dumb thing refuses to wear out or break. )Below: from my crappy scanner. Most accurate color with best detail [click on it to see what I mean], but I couldn't fit it all & I didn't know yet how to "merge" on Photoshop.

This is copied from a tiny postcard version of Bonnard's La Toilette 1914 (a.k.a. Toilette Rose). (the postcard I worked from had slightly different colors than the original--click thumbnail at link to zoom) My attempt is unfinished, as you can see--I had to return the postcard to my teacher. She picked it out for me when she saw I was headed toward copying a nice, simple painting of a bowl of fruit.

Drawing at the Met - the yearning cow

This is a drawing from a painting is called Young Herdsman With Cows by Aelbert Cuyp. Obvs, I didn't quite get to the young herdsman. No time, no time.

Drawing at the Met - Rosa Bonheur painting

This is from a painting is called The Horse Fair. It's gigantic. I included my notes and practice sketch on the first page. The second drawing is unfinished, obviously. I kind of like the horse's hooves on that second sketch--by the time I got there I'd finally loosened up.

These drawings elicited a lot of unsolicited advice from passing tourists. I guess they thought I looked confused and squinty-eyed (well, I may have been), and wanted to help. I met a lot of people that morning.
