If I remember correctly, the assignment was to take a piece from our lovely art history book and copy it to learn how the artist used lights and darks in the image. Unfortunately I didn't have oil paints at the time, so I used watercolour...manymanymany layers of watercolours.

Something Old
While I was home for reading week I made a huge discovery! Apparently in first year I had a tendency to stash all my paintings in a hidden filing cabinet in the basement, never to see the light of day again...until now...Here's my copy of Artemisia Gentileschi's "Judith and Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes" (c. 1625)
