Wow what a challange and I hope to be part of it.I was so excited that I printed off the two images and then went to each site suggested by you, Michele. I then proceeded to get really stuck and anxious about "how to paint a Vermeer" and read the entire 20 pages here.
It was fantastic.
I had not thought of doing the earring one but had recently yearned to try the "Girl With a Red Hat". That one to me is just simply so striking and since I am in someway in my --not blue but "red" period, then I will have to do that one too.
I will do this but hope you all will be not forget me as I am terribly slow. Also, have to develop film before posting as I do not have a digital. Also, the images all are a little varied as to actual color so I will go to my large reference book of art and compare them all.
Good luck all and John as for your grisaille. I'm anxious to see the other ones you do.
