2019 Challenge
This year I have
challenged myself to
paint 1 painting
per week in the
style of one of the
historical Top 100
artists. I am trying to
use the techniques, medium and colours that they used but the goal is to refrain from copying them. The time restriction of 1 week puts limitations on the oil painting and those artists who produced very detailed works
​
1 week - 1 artist
Quiet Beauty
Acrylic on Canvas
Week 26 - Claude Monet (1840 - 1926)
“Colour is my daylong obsession, joy and torment.”
“I must have flowers, always, and always.”
“I would like to paint the way a bird sings”
Nova Scotia Lilies
Week 28 - Georgia O'Keefe (1887 -1986)
"I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do."
"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for."
"Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time."
Blossoming
No Week 5
No quotes
TBD
Week 27 - Georges Seurat (1859 - 1891)
“Art is harmony. Harmony is the analogy of contrary and of similar elements of tone, of colour and of line, conditioned by the dominate key, and under the influence of a particular light, in gay, calm, or sad combinations.”
"Painting is the art of hollowing a surface."
I See
Week 29 - Frida Kahlo(1907-1954)
“I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best."
"I hope the leaving is joyful; and I hope never to return."
"I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality."
"I love you more than my own skin..”
What is identity?
