Studying from masters such as John Singer Sargent is a great way to improve your own paintings.

Here are notes I took of the entire lesson. The lessons are becoming more complex so I encourage you to take notes as well, don't just read my notes. Writing down what you find yourself will help you reinforce the ideas yourself. Here's the most important info before you start: The main purpose of the assignment is to learn brushwork, carving, and layering paint by studying masters. Extra things you will practice/learn:  1. Painting skin tones (wooooooo) 2. Practicing lay-ins 3. Squinting to find SIMPLE geometrical shapes 4. Utilizing blurred edges and sharp edges 5. Speed painting  6. How to study from masters you enjoy I see people in the unofficial discord confused with the purpose of this lesson. Keep the main purpose in the back of your head as you go forward with the lesson.

I believe what folks are misunderstanding is that art is a step by step process. And if even one of those steps is lacking the whole painting process becomes muddied. Take your time, be loose but keep an eye on what you're doing to determine when is the appropriate time to proceed to the next step.
