Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Helen Van Wyk strongly recommended that her students visit art museums and copy reproductions of paintings by the Old Masters, saying, "You can't paint a good picture until you've seen one." Here, she demonstrates how painting copies enhances your own work.In the first lesson, Helen chooses to copy a self-portrait by Rembrandt Van Rijn, who painted more than 70 self-portraits during his career. You'll follow each stroke as she recreates the Dutch painter's work from bare canvas to finished painting. She expounds on the original artist's traditional technique, using her own knowledge of painting and what she's read of Rembrandt's style.Then, as Helen's painting continues towards completion, you'll thrill to see Rembrandt virtually come alive under the brush, even as Helen takes you on a journey through 16th century Holland.
