Old Masters

I made little drawings after Rembrandt's Bathsheba. I like the old masters, like getting to know their images through drawing. These particular drawings are very small, made carelessly with a pen, in large part just for fun.

Degas said "Il faut refaire la meme chose dix fois -- cent fois." I think redrawing a thing many times teaches you how to understand the things's qualities.

I suppose I could try drawing the Rembrandt one hundred times ... but I just drew it three times ... and that was great.
