I finished off the fake Bob Ross that I started painting on Saturday lunchtime with the Cheese and Wine Painting Club over on Facebook. Painter Ed Sumner chooses a painting each week for people to copy with his humourous and skilled tutoring.

The Finishing Touch: 2
I’ve had this fake Cezanne on my easel for nearly a fortnight now.

It helped to have a break, withoutContinue reading “The Finishing Touch: 2”

I’ve had this fake Monet on my easel for over a week now. It was nearly finished but I couldn’t get around to doing the final touches until today.

It’s my 17th fake – one of the lockdown challenges I set myself was to improve my painting skills and I love studying the work of other artists. I began with a pink background, which was a bitContinue reading “The Underlying Barbie-ness”
A Faking Failure
I’ve been faking paintings for about 4 months now, one of my lockdown challenges is to improve my painting skills. This last one (number 17) defeated me. Some of the others have been tough but this one, the original is by William Goodwin, is the first I’ve thought was a complete failure. I just couldn’tContinue reading “A Faking Failure”
Finally Finished Mockney
This has taken me ages to finish. It’s a copy of a painting by David Hockney – someone on Facebook, I forget who, called it my Mockney. One of my lockdown challenges has been to improve my painting skills so I joined the Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook and learn by copying aContinue reading “Finally Finished Mockney”
