Initial Letter When Rembrandt apprenticed, he learned to draw by copying illustrations his master had in his possession.

And look at what we have! We can access almost any image ever created, all online, and study them.

I like to go on Pinterest and do a search there. Pinterest figures out very quickly what you are looking for and immediately throws similar images at you.

Perfect for copying into your sketchbook for practice. For practice! It is never okay to make straight copies and sell or pretend it’s yours. It is great fun as long as you keep the sketches to yourself.

Yours sincerely,
