MASTERCOPY MATERIALS LIST

SCREEN OR HIGH QUALITY PRINT OF YOUR CHOSEN PAINTING
If you have an ipad, laptop or screen about the size of a regular piece of paper or larger, this might be the easiest way to get your reference image of your chosen master painting. If not, a high quality print out can be a good substitute.

One larger stretched Canvas or Panel the same size or proportions as the painting you are copying (nothing larger than 30″ x 40″)

2 small canvases or panels for value and color study (something like 6″x9″; or 9″x12″ same proportions as the painting you are copying)
