Old Master Copies

 

 

                                  Here are some non-original Old Master Copies completed to practice the methods of the Old Masters.  Although I believe learning the art of painting pictures is a life long process, doing such studies and copies is instrumental in learning about what makes a successful painting both in terms of technique and composition.
