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?”

Speed Scribbling At The Vaccination Centre
I had the first of my Covid19 vaccinations today, what a relief. And a lovely day out as the vaccination centre is in the beautiful Margam Park Orangery. The most excitement I’ve had in months! There was a little bit of sitting down to do, so I did some very speedy continuous line sketches. TheContinue reading “Speed Scribbling At The Vaccination Centre”
Mugshot Update
Husb and I have been doing a bit more work on our mugshots aka slow selfies aka self-portraits. We’re turning out to look like a right pair of criminals 😀 We’re working from life, not photos, so we have to concentrate really hard and this is what we look like when we concentrate really hard.Continue reading “Mugshot Update”
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”
Mugshots ….
Husb and I participated in a self-portrait painting workshop today, led by the fabulous Welsh artist Tomos Sparnon and hosted by the most excellent GS Artists in Swansea. Of course, it was on Zoom as we’re still in lockdown but I’m enjoying online learning, both delivering and receiving. Today we worked in acrylics on canvas,Continue reading “Mugshots ….”
