    Once I went to big museum in city and I wanted to take everything in.

    I didn't know where to start.

    I noticed one person sitting in front of a painting and she fell asleep.

    Then there was another person sketching what she saw.

    I guess seeing exhibit is not enough, it is good to sketch and paint, because you really observe the colors, the lights, the shades, and the textures.

    I wish to have such excelling painting skill that I use Artist grade pastels (high quality, money is no object if you are experienced painter), pastel paper, and a portable easel.


    I can create beautiful paintings when visiting museum, or even traveling to far-off place, or paint what is in front of me.


    What do you say ladies?

    You get to learn a lot practically by observing and copying a master's painting. It is a wonderful and important way of learning in art.
