It was Yuletide season, a good time for another family reunion in the Philippines. We celebrated Christmas Eve at my brother Danny and his wife Cindy’s house. Cindy’s sisters Annie and Bettina hosted Christmas lunch. Our holiday meals were both delightful and generous. It was time for some physical vacation activities. Our destination – Coron in the province of Palawan.

Coron is remote. We took three modes of transportation to get there - by air, land and sea. Our big family tour group flew from Manila to Busuanga Island just north of the island of Palawan, then rode two vans through hills and dirt roads, before taking two motor boats to reach our secluded vacation hideaway by the beach. The skillful boatmen waded and pushed the two small crafts as we passed through shallow waters between mangroves.

Art books often advice beginners to copy the works of the masters as a way to improve their painting skill. The reason is that one can't paint a good picture until one has seen a good picture. During their formative years, the masters themselves copied from their more advanced peers.

I actually witnessed this copying phenomenon in our visit to the Louvre some years ago. The sight of artists, both novices and professionals, busy with their palettes and brushes was as spectacular as the masterpieces they were trying to replicate.

Great as it may sound, this training methodology, however, is not always possible especially for those of us with no easy access to museums and galleries. But, such working procedure could be approximated using images from art books or other sources as substitutes. It's true, prints of paintings are seldom as excellent as their original, but, for learning purposes, they would do.
