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
