Ive recently gotten into painting and am looking for inspiration, so please hit me with your favorite artists. I’ve currently only done master copies and tutorials in the style of Van Gogh, but want to branch out. Unfortunately i didnt appreciate the required art appreciation class enough in college.

    Caravaggio - an absolute master of contrast and light. He manages to balance a painterly hand with realism in such a pleasing way. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing some of his works in person, and they’re all just so impossibly smooth and polished.
