Well guys, I can only say that it helps much to learn more than one painting style even if this require copying from time to time. This nice "paint like" (Vermeer) workshop for The Official Painter Magazine is such example.
However, this workshop should help people to learn from the old masters, their history and their working methods to improve their own future paintings!
Therefore the attached disk includes a high res charcoal sketch (lines only) which was directly nailed on top of the painting sothat you will only have to worry about your painting studies!
I really hope that you guys can learn something from this workshop and it would be cool if you show me your results after you have purchased the current issue and grabbed the sketch for practice. This issue #14 is available at your local magazine store or online at http://www.paintermagazine.co.uk
