Copying masters

Since quite a few days I have been making the copies of Wiliam Bouguereau's two paintings:
La soup & the kiss. So much to learn!! And the detailing he has put into all of his works is awe-inspiring. I wonder how his eyes saw all the details and so perfectly put them on canvas. Wow. There's so much to learn when you study old masters.

The kiss(1866)
