Quick post about a recent painting.. This is the "Luncheon of the Boating Party" by Renoir done in a few of the styles of Marc Chagall.  In my in-progress photos below, you can see my studies: first a pencil sketch of the Renoir, next a pencil sketch of the Chagall characters of it, finally a pencil sketch outline on the canvas itself..

Can you recognize all the Renoir characters?  What about the Chagall ones from "Birthday?" Click the large thumb to get to the annotated Flickr page.

I've annotated the characters on my flickr photo stream.
