What are good masters to study portraits from? I only know Sargent.

It really depends what style you like and what qualities in art you value. Personally I like people such as Van Dyck, Velazquez, Kramskoi, Serov, Repin, Franz Hals, Boldini, Rembrandt, and Freud. Do some research and see what artists you like and what time period they are from--usually there are other artists from the same school or country that have similar styles.

van gogh. he was the greatest portraitist who ever lived :( he's also the hardest to study.
>>2298260
I like asian school ruanjia, weifeng, hgj
>>2298261
this is what plebs actually believe
>>2298268
For women they probably base a lot off people like Bouguereau and then various photos. I know Ruanjia is also a fan of Yoshitaka Amano and you can see it creep in his work now and then a bit.
Since we are talking about sargent, anyone still got that pack of his work? If yes, please post the link here

That was fast. Thank you very much anon!
But I'm curious, you saved the links somewhere?
>>2298270
come on dude...
>>2298284
Well it's my folder that I made/uploaded so I just went to my account to grab the link. And I guess it was a fast response because I waste a lot of time here when I'm not painting.
>>2298238
have you no own taste?

Step one: find art you like
Step two: save files to computer in organized folders by artist
Step 3: repeat daily for years until your collection matches that dude's
>>2298238

Guess whom just declared himself a hobbyist
I hope its organized well. I have 230 gigs worth of material spread over different movements and time periods.
>>2298762
heh. you're both plebs. i have only 5 gigs.
you know why? i only save the best!
>>2298823
2bh family 174 gigs of it is rips from auction sites. So super high resolution 10k+ pixels wide. And looking for them online again wont work since auction sites take them down after the auction (which makes sense)
So its rare high quality art :^]
But ye I hoard way 2 much
>>2298857
Do you have the folder of Impressionist artworks? Btw, I appreciate the link to Sargent's work so I look forward to the most of your saved pics if you're willing.
Hoarding's fun. Plus it's lifesaver when the internet suddenly stops working or when it's damn so slow desu

Do you have a script for that? I save out images from auction sites manually but it takes fucking ages.

Any master who's look you want to incorporate in your own style.
