Learning from the Masters - take 2

Here is another example of a transcription, this time from Matisse. It doesn't matter what Master you choose to learn from, the exercise will sharpen your skills, increase your confidence and give you a chance to paint without worrying about composition, form or colour. There are many sites on the Internet that have pictures of famous works of art; alternatively your local library will have a vast collection of art books. A color photocopy will be very helpful, specially if you choose to transfer the image onto your paper by applying charcoal or graphite to the back and tracing it. Above all relax and have fun.
