Brenda St. Hilaire Fine Art
In the past, apprenticing artists regularly copied the works of master painters. Engaging in this practice enabled students to explore the techniques of skilled artists, and to analyze the decisions they made in order to represent each subject's character and beauty. It is for these reasons that I also complete master copies of works by artists that I admire.
