The Underlying Barbie-ness
I started this fake Cézanne last Friday at the lunchtime Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. It’s my 17th fake – one of the lockdown challenges I set myself was to improve my painting skills and I love studying the work of other artists. I began with a pink background, which was a bitContinue reading “The Underlying Barbie-ness”
A Faking Failure
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.

I am trying to develop a style of my own – I’ve never done much painting and it’s my lockdown challenge. I really like the German Expressionists andContinue reading “Carrying On Carrying On”
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”
Carry On Painting….
I’m carrying on today with a painting I started a couple of weeks ago. I left it alone for a while because I wasn’t sure how to develop it so I had a break to look at it with fresh eyes. It’s based on a charcoal drawing I did en plein air into my KhadiContinue reading “Carry On Painting….”
