Learning From the Masters

I have heard it said that the best way to improve your craft is by learning from the masters.  Since colored pencil is a relatively new medium, it was my intent to see if other types of media can be rendered in colored pencil.  So far, I have been able to render to my satisfaction some well-know works of art by DaVinci, Ketel, and Vermeer that were done in oil paints.  My goal is to represent not only the master's subject, but also his medium.  I plan to work in the future on a Rembrandt and a Holbein.  You can see some of my completed works below.
