In my couch ridden stupor I have found a spark of inspiration from Forger's Masterclass on ABC. Every week John Myatt (art forger) introduces one of the masters and 3 'students' have a go at it. With nothing better to do I also had a dash at it. Though I don't think I have a future in forgeries it wasn't a bad exercise for someone who hasn't painted in a long long time.
First up was Edward Hopper
Next came Andre Derian
They have also worked through Monet and Van Gogh, but I don't think I am ready for those yet.
Another person also working through the shows themes is barbsartfrenzy, it's great to see her painting skills improving with each piece.
