Thank you guys!
Some recent studies here.
Something must be wrong with me, I don't like Sargent painting style. I'll pick other artists next time. I actually like how Atey simplifies stuff more than how Sargent does. Sargent's hard edges seem not hard enough to me, and I don't understand some of his large srokes' purpose. Though it's not a justification of my poor copy :)
Made a still life today as @smrr recommended! Arranged lighting in a shoe box :) Got to do more still lives. I made top and bottom edges of the ball soft but something's still wrong with them edges. And cloth folds remain tricky for me. The cloth was highly saturated btw so I had troubles with shadows being not dull.
