Quote: Copy Aspects Of Master Works That You Are Struggling With

"I ... encourage you to copy the masters works, not to profit or plagiarize, but to study and greater understand the sensitivity with which passages and transitions in tone can be made. You need not copy their work in entirety, but just the aspects that you are struggling with. I have found that I can look at their works for hours and only see in part the subtlety, but when I physically mix the transitions in paint, I better understand the true nature of the color relationship."

Daniel F. Gerhartz
