On the bright side, one way of learning how to paint is to copy The Masters. And so, in select locations, at least in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, you see art shops open to the street where a painter paints, say, a copy of the Mona Lisa. Or copies a painting from a book.
Open-air, open-city painting.
I have heard that, as in the US, art majors are not always immediately successful or employable. And so I am told this is one place where art majors may end up after university.
I once had a professor in a graduate writing class who observed that the two ways of learning anything are imitation and practice.
Maybe so.
