Day 25, painting reproduction WIP

For today, I am working on a Frida portrait reproduction. I usually love painting inspired by her, using details of elements from her; this time I'm going as close as possible just for the fun of it. I am not excellent at making a faithful representation, but I'm close enough me thinks :o)


The original from 1930 (in case you can't tell the difference ho ho ho)


And... my daughter's bunch of meme faces from the past days when she couldn't contribute:


That's it for today, hope you are enjoying your weekend!

  3. The best way to learn to paint, IMHO, is to copy the masters. I know I can paint a decent portrait by studying the work of other artists and how they broke down their images.

    A great start, if you ask me!

    Smiles,
    Diane
