Here’s one of van Gogh’s boat paintings speeded up – all done and dusted in a minute! I wish!!!! He did a number of studies on the beach at Les Saintes Marie de la Mer in the south of France. It was supposed to be where Mary Magdalene’s boat landed when she arrived in FranceContinue reading “van Gogh On Speed”

Kandinsky On Speed
Here’s a high speed film of me painting one of Wassily Kandinsky’s views of Murnau (detail above). I wish I could work that fast! He did quite a few paintings of this town when he lived there with the (often overlooked) Expressionist painter Gabriele Munter. I painted this a few weeks ago with Ed Sumner’sContinue reading “Kandinsky On Speed”
Faking A Yellow Cow
Friday’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook was postponed until today, so lunchtime I started faking a painting by the 20th Century German Expressionist Franz Marc, The Yellow Cow. I still have a couple of hours work to do to finish it, I reckon. This is from my all-time favourite period of art history,Continue reading “Faking A Yellow Cow”
Faking The Folies
Just been doing a Zoom painting tutorial with the painter Ed Sumner (of the Cheese and Wine Painting Club), copying “The Bar At The Folies Bergere” by the Impressionist Edouard Manet. It’s a two-parter, we’ll finish it next week and I’m about halfway through. Off to bed now because it’s late and I’m shattered 😀
Faffing With Vincent’s Bedroom
I’ve been doing one of Ed Sumner’s Zoom tutorials this evening, copying van Gogh’s painting of his bedroom. It’s a two hour session and it’s mostly done but it needs a bit more faffing, maybe another couple of hours. But not tonight, it’s late so I’m off to bed. Nos da, good night 🙂
Friday Faking A Matisse
It’s Friday so it faking a masterpiece day, with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. He started it at the beginning of the first lockdown in March 2020 and has carried on, I think we’re up to about 60 weeks now. This is a nude study by Henri Matisse. I used LiquitexContinue reading “Friday Faking A Matisse”
Got The Blues
Hello. Here’s my fourth podcast. It’s about the colour blue and again is mostly based on the book Colour: Travels Through the Paintbox by Victoria Finlay It’s under 10 minutes long – just about bearable 😀 Hiya. Rosie Scribblah here with another of my podcasts. I keep meaning to do them more often but I’m soContinue reading “Got The Blues”
Finished The Upside Down Boy
I’ve finished the little painting of my young relative who likes to hang upside down. It’s a great pose to paint and I did a lot of the process working from the source photos upside down too, as I find it easier to capture a likeness that way. Here are the steps along the way.Continue reading “Finished The Upside Down Boy”
Faking Kandinsky
This week’s fake with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook is one of Wassily Kandinsky’s views of Murnau, painted when he lived there in the early years of the twentieth century. I love it. I’ve used Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint onto a gesso-prepared stretched canvas. A Chance To Own One OfContinue reading “Faking Kandinsky”
Faffing With Kandinsky
Friday lunchtime is faking with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. This week it’s Murnau by Wassily Kandinsky. I’d always thought his work was completely abstract so I was well chuffed to see this, I love it. I haven’t finished it yet, maybe another hour or so of faffing to get itContinue reading “Faffing With Kandinsky”
