So from my previous series of sketches i worked on some colour study pieces, focusing on the light and shadow in the scene. Taking influence from prominent artists who use the style of Chiaroscuro in there work such as Caravaggio and Rembrandt.
I was also taking inspiration from one of my favourite painters, Roberto Ferri, an Italian painter from Taranto. Who is inspired a lot by Baroque art, the old masters of the Romanticism and symbolism. I find his composition work absolutely beautiful as well as his masterful use of lighting, much like the artists of the Chiaroscuro style.
I was also looking at artists who use religious symbolism in art. The below piece is by an artist call Mikhailovitch Vasnetsov
