Masterclasses by Narcissus Quagliata

Wonderful and helpful

I so appreciate you taking the time and effort to share on this topic. Truly life changing. The end got me. Thank you so much for giving us insight into your own struggles of finding your voice. It gives me a lot of hope.

I have watched this course 2 times already and found myself hearing and feeling something different each time. Raw, honest advice for anyone struggling to find their authentic self. This is a transformative experience you won't want to miss. I will be watching it again!

Well organized, rings true, and gives meaning and hope to the pursuit of a life in art. Thank you, Narcissus, for sharing so much of your life and experience and wisdom .

Well presented. Great examples and analogies. Thoughtful and thought provoking. I will watch over again- probably several times

I found this so insightful, THANK YOU Narcissus for doing this course. I found the last chapter so moving and especially at the end I could see you were really moved and dug deep to give us that of yourself. I am still on my journey to find my true voice and I think I will delve into this many times to recap your wise pointers.

The text is deeply meaningful. The finding of the code to unlock the “safe” that holds the treasure inside each of us, is completely an act of caring and beautiful level of searching. My notes will share these processes with me, and I am moved by the spiritual, and meditative, daydreaming processes. I have been reviewing my drawings, and long time history of making art, and am feeling inspired and satisfied with my efforts so far. At my age, who knows where I will take this but I intend to enjoy it. Thank you Narcissus for all you are giving to others.

I have absorbed this series of videos very closely, and have taken time to reflect, as I listened. Each portion affected me deeply. There is so much there for me that I must go through each portion again. I’m very appreciative of the personal information in the final section. I didn’t realize that finding my voice is something that would be an iterative process. Thank you for sharing all these details. Thank you for sharing all the details of your personal work.

It's good, especially the last chapter. I rate it five because Narcissus gives us his voice. I think, what people need to understand is that it is not so difficult or complicated. I think people do not trust what they are or what they find out, because they have a misunderstanding that it must be so great. If you find something, just follow it. This dilemma of 'what shall I create' hindered me from being an artist most of my life. When I decided to give it a try, at the age of 52, I found, finding myself was not the issue, it was accepting what I am and how the art I do come true, that was the key to finding my voice. Somehow you must accept the way you draw or the way you think or you will never be able to unleash your inspiration

There were so many pearls of wisdom that I'll watch it all over again but some comments resonated so strongly with me such as "don't squander the 80%" and "when you find your voice, own it, don't be shy". There was honesty and humanity. Narcissus delivers a balance of guiding you to what you should do while also guiding not to beat yourself up for what you haven't done...yet. We can do this.

This lecture, no, conversation has my thoughts spinning. The depth into which was shared has left me emotional and inspired at the same time. As the last few sentences were spoken I found myself with tears welling up. Tears of joy, gratefulness, inspiration, pondering, mesmerized, looking deeper, and asking myself what do I truly want to say. When silence was talked about I found this to have a profound effect on me. My younger self hated it, but as I am about to start the 6th decade in my journey I find myself needing and craving it. Our world has become loud and full of distraction. There is beauty when you can quiet your mind and your surroundings. I know I will watch and listen to this over and over again. There are nuggets and slices of knowledge I will carry with me forever. I truly feel like I am one of the luckiest people on the plant to have found and been given this opportunity. Not only learn about painting with glass but to have found insight into the human experience. The amount of personal thoughts, wisdom, sharing, and a life well lived will not be lost on me. Thank you

A beautiful creation full of authentic love, life and experience that was relatable and resonated in so many ways. Thank you so very much!
