Welcome! In this video, I try a fun drawing challenge—sketching Vermeer’s “A Young Woman Reading a Letter”. First a ten minute sketch, next a one minute sketch, and finally a thirty second sketch. While I draw, enjoy a softly spoken voiceover about the original piece, excerpted from Vermeer: The Complete Works by Karl Schütz, produced by Taschen.
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
