Having fun with Judith Leyster's "Self-portrait"

I took this from this site and you can do this appreciation there where it is complete. There are "exercises" from other painters like Van Gogh, Gauguin, Vermeer at NGA Classroom: Online Resources for Teachers and Students and it is really good and funny to what they are doing. Have fun!
