then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.”

*** Please note: This course is recommended for students ages 13 and up. Only you know the abilities of your own children, so if you have younger ones who want to participate, you can make that call. These lessons are more advanced than our other art courses in that they encourage the student to draw upon his or her own inner resources (no templates are provided). The purpose of this course is to help your teen gain basic artistic skills, get a feel for, and develop mastery of each medium.***

“In just about every gallery and museum one comes across artists, both amateur and professional,
who copy masterpieces in order to become better artists themselves. There is nothing new or strange
about this. Raphael studied by copying the works of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo…
Degas was frequent visitor at the Louvre. He copied the work of…Rembrandt, Giotto, Titian,
Bellini, and especially, Poussin…”
 ~ Jose Parramon
