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”
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”
The Very Slow Selfie
I carried on with this self portrait I started AGES ago, a very slow selfie. I’m trying to develop my own way of working, rather than copy another artist’s style, which is what I’ve been doing over the past year with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club over on Facebook. I’m trying out differentContinue reading “The Very Slow Selfie”
Finished Faffing With Vincent’s Vessels
I finally finished copying van Gogh’s “Fishing Boats on the Beach at Saintes-Maries” that I started a couple of weeks ago in a Zoom tutorial with the painter Ed Sumner. This is the 47th fake I’ve painted since the first lockdown started just over a year ago. Not bad considering I’m a scribbler and printmaker,Continue reading “Finished Faffing With Vincent’s Vessels”
