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”
Faking It. Baking It.
Still working on the fake Hockney I began last Friday with the weekly Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook, led by the artist Ed Sumner. One of my lockdown challenges was to improve my painting skills and I think it’s working. I feel like I’m learning a lot. This is my sixteenth fake andContinue reading “Faking It. Baking It.”
Friday’s Faking Fields
And Friday rolls around again, so quickly, and it’s the the lunchtime Cheese and Wine Painting Club. I set myself some lockdown challenges early in the pandemic and one of them was to improve my painting skills. I found this great painting session on Facebook, where the artist Ed Sumner guides us in painting fromContinue reading “Friday’s Faking Fields”
Faking Cezanne
Finally finished Friday’s fake. It’s By Cezanne and it’s the Bay of Marseilles. One of my lockdown challenges has been to improve my painting skills. I’m not a motivated painter so I joined an online painting class, Facebook’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Friday lunchtimes. This is my fifteenth painting and we usually copyContinue reading “Faking Cezanne”
Faking Friday On Saturday
I didn’t do my usual Faking Friday yesterday because Husb and I were looking after a 2 year old maniac and I was fit for nothing afterwards. So today, I caught up with the Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook, led by artist Ed Sumner and this week we copied a Cezanne. There’s stillContinue reading “Faking Friday On Saturday”
Let’s Get Ready To Crumble!
Had a very domestic day today, first babysitting a family toddler – a small, cute, adorable maniac. Then I made an allotment crumble with Bramley apples, raspberries and wild strawberries. It didn’t last long – when it comes to crumble, Husb takes no prisoners! A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks IContinue reading “Let’s Get Ready To Crumble!”
Faking Friday Once Again
It’s Faking Friday again and this week’s subject was Monet’s “Fields In The Spring”. I really enjoyed this one, it’s the third Monet I’ve studied and I’m getting the hang of him. These painting sessions are hosted by The Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook, taught by London-based artist Ed Sumner, and are freeContinue reading “Faking Friday Once Again”
Scribbling With Paint
I normally scribble with pens, pencils, charcoal, graphite but as I’m doing a lot of painting recently, my pandemic challenge is to improve my painting skills, I sometimes end up with leftover paint. So I’ve been rummaging around in my drawers for leftover paper and use mostly palette knives to scribble the paint onto lovelyContinue reading “Scribbling With Paint”
Fake And Bake
Had another lunchtime session with The Cheese And Wine Painting Club over on Faceboo. It’s all painting and no cheese and wine, honestly. Today we tried out copying a landscape with flowers using big brushes, palette knives and an old debit card. Picked up some good tips. After faking it, I baked gluten free lemon,Continue reading “Fake And Bake”
