More studies from Leyendecker studies

Still learning from doing these, and enjoying it too.
Photoshop CS5.  I used mostly just two brushes to do these, but I put a little texture and a simple emboss effect on the highlights to give them more of the look of real oil paint.  Real oil on canvas has some body or thickness to it so it casts a little shadow on the canvas.

These are great! Is there any chance you can share which brushes you used to get such a painterly effect? I've done a handful of Leyendecker studies in traditional media, but can't seem to get my digital efforts to resonate as strongly as you have. Good job!
