Overview

Who wouldn't want to paint like one of the greatest painters that ever lived? Not only was Leonardo da Vinci one of the greatest painters, but he was an inventor, engineer, musician, scientist, writer, designer, and draftsman.I will show you how I have emulated and learned from the old masters so that I could paint like them, and how you could too. I accomplished this the same way a young apprentice in a medieval guild would have started out: by copying their works. From copying their paintings, you can learn the styles and techniques from virtually any painter. By copying brushstroke for brushstroke, you'll be practicing your general painting skills while following a design and composition that works. You'll learn what makes a great painting great. By the end of your apprenticeship, you could say you were taught by a genius.
