Being able to take what you learn from a seminar or work shop ,and then Change it a bit to make it more your own. That is what I try to do with any of my Art that I paint. There are many teacher teachers that teach similar styles and techniques with little variations. The Good ones use Their Own drawings sketches and Compositions. Since I do not get to many seminars , I learn a lot Online. So If i see something another teachers has shown or done. I like to give credit to that teacher or Artist and respect them enough to NOT copy exactly their work. ( Unless part of the lesson is to try to get a close representation of that work. )
For Example , I Love Peter Faust’s style of using color and modern elements and making Busy compositions appealing using china paints Lusters and Golds and Platinums. I have many of his books that I look through and read often , Hoping to soak up the information like a sponge. See some examples of studies I have done from his books. others using his “techniques and style ” to come up with my own similar designs.
The pink and orange is one I did similar to an ornament in PF book.
The two below are firebrick.com shots from a Peter F seminar workshop.
these below are some of Mine , using similar techniques Lusters and china paints and gold swirls and circles and detail ornamentation.
