Instructive Copies
An important part of an art education is to study how problems were handled by earlier artists. Studying their techniques and composition provides insight and a deeper understanding of the media being explored, or the style or mood conveyed by the work. It’s also a great diversion when you’ve hit a wall in your own work.
