Duplicating the Masters

One of the most effective ways to develop strong artistic techniques is to study and replicate the work of the masters. This class guides students through the process of painting duplication, allowing them to learn directly from some of the greatest artists in history.

By copying well-known masterpieces, students will:

• Discover the techniques used by classical and contemporary masters.
• Analyze brushwork, composition, and layering methods to understand how great paintings were constructed.
• Develop problem-solving skills by tackling challenges faced by historic painters.
• Enhance their ability to mix colors, create texture, and refine details.

Beyond technical growth, duplicating a master’s work offers deep insight into their creative process. Students will learn how to think like the artist, seeing the world through their eyes and understanding the decision-making process behind each stroke.

This class is an invaluable experience for any student who wants to deepen their understanding of artistic craftsmanship while honing their own skills in the process. By the end of the course, students will not only have reproduced stunning works of art but also gained the knowledge and confidence to create their own original masterpieces.
