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 1 - Picasso (1881- 1973)
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."
​
Man with dog
Week 3 - Giotto di Bondone (1226-1337)
"The human heart is a frail craft on which we wish to reach the stars."
The sincere friends of this world are as ship's lights in the stormiest of nights."
​
Mother Theresa in Calcutta
Week 2 - Cezanne (1839-1906)
"Art is a harmony parallel with nature."
"Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realising one's sensations."
​
Secombe's Island, Nova Scotia
Week 4 - JMW Turner (1775-1851)
"My business is to paint what I see, not what I know is there."
"It is only when we are no longer fearful that we begin to create"
