Studies after Masters
Pencil studies after the old masters. To make the study in the same
medium would be best, but that is not always possible, time-wise,
getting permissions, carrying materials, etc.
Pencil allows to focus mainly in, design, composition, value, edges and a restriction to simplify as much as possible.

| After José Malhoa |
José Malhoa (1855 - 1933)
José Vital Branco Malhoa (1855 - 1933), commonly known as
José Malhoa was a Naturalist Portuguese painter. Born in a family of farmers
April 28th in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, Malhoa revealed artistic aptitude
from early age. At 12, went to the Fine Art school in Lisbon where he studied
for 8 years. His dedication and talent were quickly noticed, allowing him to
win all the 1st prizes every year. By the end of his studies in Lisbon, Malhoa
applied for scholarships to further continue his studies in a foreign country
but with little success. And without possibility of a financially support,
he is forced to work for his older brother in a clothing store.
Never completely putting his brushes aside, he worked 3
years for his brother, until his work in 1881 (Seara Invadida) was accepted for
an exhibition in Madrid where it was extremely well received. It was the
end of the clothing store job, dedicated full-time to art since, it was the
start of many commissions and exposure that never stopped. Founder and
president of the Society of Fine Art, member of Grupo do Leão along side with
notorious Portuguese painters of the time (Silva Porto, Columbano, Rafael
Bordalo Pinheiro, António Ramalho, João Vaz, Henrique Pinto, Ribeiro Cristino,
Moura Girão, Rodrigues Vieira and many others), Malhoa won endless medals, awards and honours through
his life. In 1928 received a National tribute, in 1933 the José Malhoa museum
was created. The artist died that same year, 17th of October in Figueiró dos
Vinhos. The museum's inauguration was in 28th of April of the following year,
the day of his anniversary.
José Malhoa Foundation still exists to this day, to help young upcoming artists.
