Miniature oil painting by Cookie Ziemba

This oil painting, after a Rembrandt, was from a class I took from Johannes Landman in 2007 at the IGMA Guild School in Castine, Maine. Jan, as he is called, is a master in oil painting and I was lucky enough to be in the lottery to get in his class. It was difficult, but nowhere as difficult as the watercolor on vellum shown below. I do hope to be able to get into his next class at the Guild because this is a technique I would like to do in the future.
