I carried on faking “Storms at Sea” by Joseph Mallord William Turner today. It’s a long haul, it’s built up of many textures and layers of paint and it’s quite hard to see these in the print-out I have. I discovered a new way (new to me anyway) to apply the paint today, using thickContinue reading “Long Haul Faff”

Sunflowers Or Sea Urchins?
I carried on with this copy of one of van Gogh’s famous sunflower paintings. He did about eight of them and this one has a lush blue background. There are two different types of sunflower in the vase and when you get up close to the painting, the lower ones look a bit like seaContinue reading “Sunflowers Or Sea Urchins?”
Turner’s Tough!
Friday today and my weekly faking session with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club. This week it’s “Storms at Sea” by Joseph Mallord William Turner. Duw it’s hard! A lot of Turner’s work is abstract and this is particularly so and I don’t really get abstract. I’m finding this one tough going. But I’mContinue reading “Turner’s Tough!”
Guess Who I’m Faking?
I’m doing some extra faking this week. When Ed Sumner started the Cheese and Wine Painting Club at the beginning of Lockdown 1.0, almost a year ago now, I didn’t join until the 6th session so I thought I’d go back and look at some of the ones he did right at the start. IncludingContinue reading “Guess Who I’m Faking?”
Finished Faffing And Faking
I finished Friday’s fake with minimum faffing this week. I paint along with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club each week and I usually spend a few hours over the weekend finishing the paintings. But this week I only did about half an hour extra. This composition, Monet’s “San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk”, isContinue reading “Finished Faffing And Faking”
A Bit Of Faff
It’s Friday so it’s faking day with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. Today we painted Monet’s “San Giorgio Maggiore At Dusk“. The original was donated to the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff by Gwendoline Davies. I used Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint onto a prepared canvas. I’ve done a lotContinue reading “A Bit Of Faff”
Faking With The Cat – The Film
Here’s a speeded up video of me painting a copy of Andre Derain’s “Charing Cross Bridge”, painted in 1906 in the Fauvist style. With Sparta Puss, the cat. She likes to muscle in on the action. There’s about 3 hours of action compressed into 3 minutes. I started painting it in the Cheese and WineContinue reading “Faking With The Cat – The Film”
Another Fake Finished
I’ve just finished copying this painting, “Charing Cross Bridge” by the 20th century Fauvist artist Andre Derain. It was great fun and I learned a lot too. I’ve done almost 40 fakes now with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook on Friday afternoons throughout the lockdown. A Chance To Own OneContinue reading “Another Fake Finished”
A Timelapse of Matisse’s Cat And Goldfish
I finished faking Matisse’s painting “Cat And Goldfish” and Husb did a short time lapse film of me working on it from beginning to end. This was the first painting I did with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting club almost a year ago …. had no idea then that lockdown would last this long.Continue reading “A Timelapse of Matisse’s Cat And Goldfish”
Faking A Fauve
It’s Faking Friday again with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. This week we copied “Charing Cross Bridge” by the early 20th century Fauvist artist Andre Derain. I’ve always loved the work of the Fauvists, the word is derived from the French Fauves – wild beasts. Matisse is probably the most famousContinue reading “Faking A Fauve”
