Your homage is beautiful even in its early stages Wren! I agree that making master copies are a brilliant way to learn and pay homage to an artist that inspires us.

I also adore the Rijksmuseum. The best exhibition I've ever seen was there - a comprehensive exhibit of Rembrandt's drawings. It was stunning. But I didn't know they allowed access to images in their collection, that's incredible news, thank you for sharing!!

So interesting! Love your trees so far - I’ve been intrigued by Dina’s class and it’s lovely to see what you’re creating! I’ve been doing a lot of watercolor and pencil paintings in my sketchbook as small studies for the new painting collection I’m working on.

Dina is a great teacher--both her sketchbook workshop and the tree workshop are well worth it!

That sounds like a wonderful detail of the Park to research and explore!

What a great read, thanks for sharing about ideas of exploring the master painters. I’m familiar with Diana’s Instagram and her work is stunning, her course sounds really interesting. It’s great to see your beautiful art too!

Funny enough, I was at the Rijksmuseum last week and it really is an experience and so much to see! I hope to visit it more often.
