How to Go From COPYING to CREATING (Live & Online)

From COPYING to CREATING

How to Move Beyond Copying Great Art to Creating Your Own!

Copying great artists is often the first step, but it shouldn't be the last for any artist. While studying master's can teach you valuable techniques, composition, and color use, it’s easy to get stuck mimicking rather than making.

If your work feels more like a collage of other people’s ideas rather than a true reflection of your own voice, it’s time to shift.

Join Mastrius Mentors Marjorie Mae Broadhead & Laureen Marchand for a live, interactive panel discussion that explores the EVOLUTION from imitation to innovation. You’ll learn how to study your artistic influences without losing yourself—and how to use that inspiration as a springboard toward developing your unique and meaningful artistic style and body of work.

Learn how to evolve from borrowed brilliance into bold originality, through:

• Understanding the role of imitation in artistic growth—and how to avoid staying stuck in the mimicry phase
• How to ethically and effectively learn from other artists without compromising your originality
• How to understand what attracts you to certain works—style, mood, palette, technique—and TRANSLATE that into your own artistic language
• Ways to deconstruct and adapt techniques so they align with your vision and artistic voice
• Confidence-building strategies to help you trust your intuition so your work stands out with clarity and convictionWays to build a visual language that communicates ideas, moods, and energy through abstraction
• Actionable steps to move from being a student of great art to becoming an originator of your own

This session will equip you with tools to refine your influences into a style that feels authentic and unique to you. You’ll walk away with a roadmap for growth that honors what you’ve learned—and where you’re going next.
