To get the kind of accurate detail and line quality I wanted in the judge's portrait, I needed to be able to draw it bigger than the original drawing allowed for. I'm no Jan Vermeer, I can't work in miniature. But I wonder what Vermeer could have done with Photoshop? (I know, the thought is Art sacrilege! I take it back.) Anyway, I drew the judge's arm and gavel as it is reflected on the table's surface, scanned it and inserted it into the picture frame. It's a nice little drawing within the drawing. Though maybe not worthy of Vermeer, but more Rembrandt like like in the lighting I think - kidding!
