[@FS-mc3cs]

The most unfriendly - rude staff and unnecessarily-expensive. (shudder) I went there a few times and every time... a nasty unwelcomed experience. 💯% AWFUL Place!

Tracing = cheating? Tracing is an important technique used for centuries

[@SunyJim]

I so agree. Even other optical methods, camera lucida, camera obscura they aren't cheating. The painters business was painting portraits or scenery, not to do a painting but without using their left hand. Or paint but you can only use a piece of straw found in a ditch 3 miles away. The final product is all that mattered the customers wanted a portrait that was flattering, realistic, and well painted. Nobody would have cared if they used optics or mirrors or anything else to lay out the painting to make a better finished product. Its so strange that our modern world considers that cheating, where it wouldn't be an issue if I took a photograph, manipulated it in photoshop, printed it out with a grid on it, and copied that layout square by square onto my canvas, how is that different? We use the technology we have to make a better product. Just like we would use modern brushes and paint.

Enter Islam and success

4:18 Da Vinci has been coming there since the age of 12? I think not but the editing makes it sound as if.

[@paintinglabofficial]

It's a good point, would you belive you are not the first person to say this
