Woman In Gold In A Minute And Lots Of Fakes

For most of the past year, since the first lockdown began, I have been painting fakes on Fridays with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. Here are the first 28 – I’ve got about another 20 since I did these. And here’s a timelapse video of me painting Gustav Klimt’s Woman InContinue reading “Woman In Gold In A Minute And Lots Of Fakes”

I started copying this work, The Mysterious Garden, by the British Art Nouveau artist Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh on Friday with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club over on Facebook. I have a fair bit more work to do on it and I’m finding it tough going because it’s a style of painting I’m unfamiliarContinue reading

Sticks Before My Eyes

I reached the point of no more faffing with van Gogh’s “Street Scene in Montmartre”. That’s it now. I’ve painted so many sticks I’m seeing them when I close my eyes. Vincent was living with his brother Theo in 1886 when he painted this, when the area was still very rural. It’s not like thatContinue reading “Sticks Before My Eyes”

Timelapse Tretchikoff

Here’s a short timelapse video of me copying Tretchikoff’s Green Lady – I wish I could do it this fast!!! A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have given these antique artifacts a modernContinue reading “Timelapse Tretchikoff”

Faking The Ultimate Kitsch

Finished faking the Green Lady, portrait of Monica Pon-su-san by Vladimir Tretchikoff

Timelapse Sunflowers

Here’s a short timelapse film of the van Gogh painting of Sunflowers I recently copied. It’s got a really noisy soundtrack so watch out! I wish I could paint it this fast in real life – he was a very complex painter and the works take a long time to do. A Chance ToContinue reading “Timelapse Sunflowers”

Wasn’t Too Sure …..

I wasn’t sure about faking this one today at Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook, because it’s a painting I don’t particularly like. It’s Vincent van Gogh’s “Street Scene in Montmartre” and it sold at auction this week for over £11 million. He painted it in 1887, part of a series ofContinue reading “Wasn’t Too Sure …..”

Finished Faking Sunflowers

I finally finished faking van Gogh’s sunflowers. I’ve been faffing around with it off and on for a few weeks now. The strange sunflowers at the bottom of the vase took a lot of work and I was stumped about how to do them at first, but then I worked out how to dapple paintContinue reading “Finished Faking Sunflowers”

Green Lady’s Yellow Frock

I’ve nearly finished the copy of Vladimir Tretchikoff’s “Green Lady” that I started a couple of weeks ago. I think her head is just about done now, so today I did a lot of work on the yoke of her dress. It’s an elaborate embroidered silky fabric and I’ve never painted anything like this before.Continue reading “Green Lady’s Yellow Frock”

Timelapse Turner

I recently finished faking a painting by JMW Turner, “Storm at Sea” and Husb made a timelapse video of me doing it. Here it is if you fancy seeing how it developed. I’ve been faking more or less every Friday throughout the pandemic lockdown, almost a year now, with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine PaintingContinue reading “Timelapse Turner”
