Almost as Good as a Trip to the Art Museum

Recently, I was browsing a couple of my favorite YouTube channels, and a fellow portrait painter that I look up to, Mark Carder, mentioned this amazing free resource for artists on his vlog.

I checked it out and was excited.

I’m not sure if you live near an art museum or gallery, but in my opinion, nothing fuels inspiration more for realistic portrait painting than studying the works of the masters–like Rembrandt, Caravaggio, or Sargent. Seeing how they composed their paintings, chose their colors, applied their brushstrokes can encourage you to go higher with your own realistic painting skills. But most of us, even if we do have access to the museum, don’t have time to take the trip.

However, you can virtually take a trip to the museum with this free collection of high-resolution art images online.

I’ll tell you about it (and show it to you) in this video…
