My favorite artists Edgar Degas! I'm loving this study. MoMa should do a course on this via Coursera.

Wow he is even more my favorite now. He did it all.

Did he use some kind of gesso to protect the paper from the oilpaint?

Very nice video, but the music is too LOUD

What a shame Degas and Renoir had to turn on Pissarro later in life and without provocation.

[@Radswid]

OK. But could be longer and more detailed. A wasted opportunity.
