I'm starting to think about how people learn art by cheating!

Copying, tracing and such may help to start you off with part of the answer and later learn. Copying art was big in the olden days. It's still a way of learning from the old masters. Something to consider...

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

~ Oscar Wilde

Good artists copy, great artists steal.

~ Pablo Picasso

What separates a good artist from a great artist?

A good artist will see another artists style and then try and emulate that style (copy) as closely as they can.
A great artist will select elements from another artist's work and incorporate (steal) it into their own unique mix of influences.

Last night my husband & I watched an Orson Welles docudrama called F For Fake about an art forger, Elmyr de Hory, who created 1,000s of fake artworks by Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani & Renoir. He studied painting in Hungary, Germany and Paris but could not sell his original artworks so de Hory turned to forgery as a way to support himself.

These days, a good art forgery can sell for almost as much as the real thing. But for obvious reasons, I don't recommend it as a career path.
