Picture Study the Charlotte Mason Way

Let’s look at what Charlotte Mason said about how to conduct a picture study in Home Education:

They should take one artist after another, term by term, and study quietly some half-dozen reproductions of his work in the course of a term…The children should study a subject quietly for a few minutes; and then, the picture being removed, say what they have seen in it…. Something definite [of the content of the picture] remains with a child after his studies, but this is the least of the gains.

Now, let’s apply this to your homeschool in a practical way.
