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”

Oooh Nearly There….
I’ve almost finished the copy I’ve been doing of van Gogh’s “Fishing Boats on the Beach at Saintes Marie de la Mer”. It’s almost there, just a bit more faffing to do and it should be done. The beach is supposed to be where Mary Magdalene, along with two other Biblical Marys, landed in FranceContinue reading “Oooh Nearly There….”
No More Faffing On Monet’s Cliffs
Another fake finished …. I’m on a roll here. This is a copy of Claude Monet’s “Cliff at Grainval” that I started with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook about a week and a half ago. I didn’t much like it, there are plenty of other works by Monet that I preferContinue reading “No More Faffing On Monet’s Cliffs”
Finally Finished Faffing The Fake
I finished faffing with the fake from Fridays Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. This is by the French Pointillist artist Camille Pissarro, “Bridge at Montefoucaute”. I didn’t like it when I started, but it grew on me. It involved a lot of daubing which I found very relaxing. Here are the stages I wentContinue reading “Finally Finished Faffing The Fake”
Faking Friday Comes Round Again
It’s Friday’s fakery with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club over on Facebook and this week it’s a work by the French Pointillist artist Camille Pissarro, “Bridge at Montefoucaute”. There’s still a way to go, maybe a couple of hours over the weekend, before it’s finished. I’m using Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint ontoContinue reading “Faking Friday Comes Round Again”
Faffing With The Fishing Boats
More work done on the van Gogh that I’m copying, “Fishing Boats on a Beach”. It’s almost there, just a bit more faffing to do and it should be finished. I’m using Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paints onto stretched, primed canvas. I started it last week in a Zoom tutorial from Ed Sumner who runsContinue reading “Faffing With The Fishing Boats”
Faking van Gogh
And another bit of fakery! This time it’s van Gogh’s “Fishing Boats on the Beach (at Saint Marie)” from 1888. I’m about halfway through it. I love copying van Gogh, I’ve always loved his work, since I was a schoolkid, and it is joyous as well as instructive to do these paintings. I started itContinue reading “Faking van Gogh”
Copying, Creativity, Cheese And Wine
I’m carrying on faking this Monet, “Cliffs At Grainval”, but it still needs more work. Not a lot, just a bit more faffing should do it. I started it on Friday with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. He’s been running it weekly since lockdown began over a year ago and it’sContinue reading “Copying, Creativity, Cheese And Wine”
Friday Fakery
It’s Friday again so I joined in with the weekly Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook at lunchtime. It’s run by painter Ed Sumner who has kept it going every week since lockdown started. Today’s fake is “Cliff At Grainval”, a painting from 1882 by Claude Monet. I’m about half way through. A ChanceContinue reading “Friday Fakery”
Finally Finished Faking Frida
I finally finished faking Frida! I started this weeks ago on a Zoom tutorial with Ed Sumner of the Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. The original is a modern painting by an artist called Nettsch. I need more practice with foliage and birds, they were much harder than the figure. It’s painted inContinue reading “Finally Finished Faking Frida”
