Old school painting practice..copying the masters




Feitelson also advocated copying old masters after studying the composition and brushwork of old masters such as Frans Hals.
Frans Hals. Gypsy Girl. 1628-30. Oil on wood, 58 x 52 cm. Musée du Louvre, Paris.
Malle Babbe, c.1630. Oil on canvas, 75cm by 64cm. Staatliche Museen, Berlin


Below are the studies done in his class at the Art Center School.
(Close but no cigar) 
Valuable lessons in time management and brush technique.
I regret that I did not photograph these exercises with greater care.
