Each week our art group appoints one member as leader. The leader, decides what type of project we will work on that day. A few weeks ago, Faye was our leader, and as her project, she brought it images of VanGogh and Monet paintings for us to re-create.
I chose his very famous "Wheatfield with Cypresses" . Actually, I chose one of three similar paintings that carry that name.
I have always wanted to give his famous and distinctive swirling brushwork a try. It was an interesting experiment, one that I will probably do again.
Years ago, I spent some time studying the masters and duplicating some of their works. I found it to be very informative. Here is one of my attempts at Degas' work, "Woman Bathing"

AWESOME sales!!!!
Excellent work, Carol!!!! I love copying the Master's work sometimes...such a learning experience. I'm working on a portrait of Rembrandt in oils...first portrait in oils and I find it soooo difficult but I'm enjoying it. Hopefully it will be finished this week. I love the way you handled the colors on your painting. And your Van Gogh is painted beautifully! Congratulations on the sales!!
