Study After Monet

This was my art final (hence the disgustingly artsy title ). the assignment was to pick a painting done by a master and re-create it the way another master from another era would have done it. we also had to use a different medium than the original. i picked Monet's Woman With a Parasol and tried to paint it Photoshop in the style of the Renaissance (which didn't come out at all in the final product IMHO ). it was pretty tough, it came down to timing in the end. it was also a little awkward using a trackball mouse because i haven't used one at home in years and i've used them with photoshop maybe once or twice at school. my art teacher liked it though, so hopefully i didn't fail. :-D
