Copying the Master #4

Here is another copy by me, of Kevin Macphersons painting. Learnt a lot from it, the most important being “art by suggestion”.

The weather in Dallas has been terrible, icy roads are making things impossible everywhere. I can hardly wait to paint out again.

Size: 4″x4″, Time taken 2-3hours.

(PLEASE DO NOT COPY THE WORK OF OTHER ARTISTS TO SELL, IT IS ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL)

Copying a Master #3

Here is my copy, of the work, by the Master: Kevin Macpherson.  It is a wonderful and learning experience to copy the work of an accomplished artist,  it is like peering into their mind.  This is a very good exercise.

It is illegal and immoral to copy the work of other artists for sale. So please don’t do it!

Copying the Masters #2.

These days I am taking a little time to copy the works of the contemporary masters.  Trying to learn their artful usage of paint.  Here is another copy of a Masters Painting, that I did. The original was done by Bob Rohm.  Bob is into Painterly art and very accomplished.  I strongly recommend his Book: “A painterly approach”.

I did this roughly in 1hour, on a 5″ x 7″ linen.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

The excitement is in the air and it is awesome. We had a few days of cold weather in Dallas, when we had the opportunity to light the fireplace. We got together with friends over thanksgiving. It was great.

Let the festivities begin…

Copying the Masters #1

One way to grow is to copy the works of Masters.  All the great Masters copied the Masters before them.  This is one way to get into the head of an artist (somewhat) and see how he/she solved the problems on the canvas.  Below is a copy of Kevin MacPherson’s landscape painting, that I did in 1 hour and it was loads of fun (Size: 5″ x 7″).  I love the painterly approach that Kevin takes for his paintings and the colors sing in harmony.  My goal was to see how fast can I go and still capture the essence of the painting.
