Copying master paintings has been an excellent exercise. It's funny that I hadn't thought of it before. When you're learning to play the piano or guitar you certainly start by copying other people's songs. The great thing about drawing from a master painting is that you're already starting with something you love, the artistic choices have been made for you, and you notice things about construction that you might not have if you weren't trying to create it yourself.
