Art for Picture Study?

Post by my2guys » Thu Jun 04, 2009 1:54 pm

I was wondering if anyone could help me in locating prints to purchase for a picture study. (Specifically I'm looking for Norman Rockwell right now for the fall.) I've found some postcard-sized prints, but I'd like to have something a little larger - like 8x10 or so. If I would have had the foresight - I could have purchased a calendar back in January when they were half price and cut that up, but alas, I think that opportunity has passed me by. :P Just wondering if anyone has any "secret resources" where you find your art when you're doing a picture study. Thanks ladies!

I found old calendars on eBay for dirt cheap. I bought one that features Monet for art study in the fall. They work great.

Good idea! I'm using Go Fish For Art...not sure if they have any that you are looking for though.
