Master Mentor Copy - J. Sorolla, Second Garden - Villa Sorolla

The idea for a Master Mentor Copy emerged while studying historic garden paintings, especially those of Joaquin Sorrola a Spanish painter ( 1863 - 1923 ), who at his time was famous for his potraiture. The original of this artwork is painted in oil on linnen and much larger - 95 x 64 cm. I studied Sorollas technique while painting this small work without any digital help or projection devices. My main interest was to see if his amazing technique in oil could be somehow translated in watercolors.

While waiting for portrait sessions and strolling among his clients' exquisite gardens, Sorolla began painting parks. I immediately connected with his art since it was reminiscent of my own early work from the 2008s. Particularly those that depict iconic moments from Mallorquin gardens.

This work demonstrates Sorolla's extraordinary abstraction abilities as well as his passion for the natural world and all living things. Most likely, the figure in the middle is a replica of Pompeji, Italy's dancing faun.
