Last week was the start of Studying Under the Masters (portraits and self-portraits). Jeanne Oliver chose Vincent Van Gogh to apprentice under and her projects and videos are superb!
To be different I attempted to paint one of my girls in the style of Van Gogh. Not sure if I was very successful but I had gobs of fun! There is tons of movement in this girl. I used a mixture of matte and satin paint so in real life there is even more movement when you walk past her.
This week is Picasso - can't wait to start watching those videos but I've got to finish the first week first. I've got a feeling it will take me months to finish this class!

I love seeing what other artists do when painting in the style of one of the great masters. Your girl surely fits in with Van Gogh's style ....
Fabulous...YES you captured your girl in his style...and yes there is so much movement...it's as though the clouds are moving behind her!! LOVE IT!!

I've never tried painting in the style of one of the old masters. You've done an exceptional job. It is beautiful.
sounds a great challenge and love your interpretation of Van Gogh's style. Happy PPF, Annette x
