Well, I have been working on a replication of one of my original paintings that got a lot of praise. It is a larger painting and is pretty intricate so it has taken quite a while to paint. I am about 60% done with it and am posting my progress so far. It is very hard to redo paintings. It may not seem hard to someone looking in, but it is hard to capture that original feeling you were experiencing when you completed the original. For example, the original painting was painted under stress. I was so afraid of being the worst in the class. This replication is painted in my comfortable art room where I am more impatient to move on to a new painting and it is forming completely different. I have also learned to paint from the photo and never look at the original painting, it will only mess with your mind.
like it.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Claire. Do you now know that you could never be the worst painter in the class? You have proved that over and over.
