Learn how to create meaningful and imaginative responses to the works of the masters. There are step-by step-examples to illustrate how to get started and how to use thumbnail pencil sketches. Advice is given on making larger and slower drawings, and then oil-sketch copies of the masters' work. The author studies the composition, rhythms, and colors of the masters and uses their work as a source to practice and understand paintings, and as a springboard for your own discovery and invention.
