The BEST Exercise to Become a Better Painter

This video shares the first portion of this month's Patreon Tutorial. In the video I talk about why i think doing color study mastercopies can be one of the best exercises to learn to paint. I show some of my early copies after Isaac Levitan, George Inness, Edward Seago, and John Singer Sargent as well as some of my own plein air color studies, which are also a helpful exercise. You can watch the demo portion and full process of a color study master copy on the Patreon.
