Frans Hals at the Met

Copy of Frans Hals detail in my sketchbook

My copy of Malle Babbe by Frans Hals, 12" x 15", oil on gessoed paper

One of my favorite artists, Frans Hals, will be at the Met through October 10th.  Copying one of his paintings is a great lesson for the aspiring artist.  His brush strokes are masterful and his portraits are sublime.  Must see!
