Master copy drawings
I frequently copy drawings of Old Masters. Here are three of my recent drawings. Michaelangelo’s “Pieta” is one of my favorites. Although Michaelangelo never did a painting of it, I hope to do one someday. There are some difficulties in making accurate copies. But, I enjoy the process and learn a lot from the past masters. Use of multiple drawing media is an added benefit!
Good morning,
I happened by this site and wanted to tell you. I AM painting the Pieta. The same one that you drew, based on Michaelangelo’s drawing for Vittoria Collonna. I did change it up a bit. Not an exact copy. I wanted the Madonna to be smaller thean she was drawn. Also I changed her face to look more like the Pieta in Marble.
I’ll send you an image when I’m done. Keep up the cool work.

Thank you, Keith. I look forward to seeing your drawing. I absolutely love Michaelangelo’s original drawing. Masterly- no doubt.
