The Old Masters - Event Discussion
I love the idea. Hope I'll have time to participate....
Oh @Felix! this is a tough challenge! A lot of thinking and even more than usual hard work will be here!
Great idea for a challenge. I'll really try to participate in this one. I've already begun looking at more well-known paintings. If anything, this is giving me the chance to better educate myself. Because of the first uploaded contribution, I've discovered the artwork of Caspar David Friedrich more in depth. I'm thinking I might try one of his.
This is such a great idea! Hope I find time to participate!
I was googling entire evening yesterday to find something to attempt to replicate...it is a difficult task to select the One. Luckily I started one more Aivazovsky seascape day before yesterday, unluckily I got stuck as I did not research original enough...I still hope I will finish that one, and if time permits I will try something more impressionistic for the Event.
just from the uploads I've seen now this is probably my favorite event yet!
There are such wonderful paintings posted already, I do not dare to comment as each of them is fantastic and each of them gave a lot of knowledge to ones who dared to participate!
15 paintings submitted and 4 more days to go!
If anyone needs an extension to finish their submission let me know and I'll move the deadline back a little
- Edited
Last day to vote, don't forget to vote for your favorites!
And another one finished!

Congratulations to the winners, great event, absolutely loved it, look forward to the next one!
Felix congratulations to the winners! Congratulations to all participants! This was incredible event with all the beautiful paintings with a lot of knowledge acquired while working on the everyoneβs own versions!
Oh wow! I had the worst day at work so itβs so nice to come home to wonderful news.
Congrats to all the participants! This was my favorite event so far. Excellent idea! It was so nice seeing renditions of paintings I already loved, and then learning about new artists and their work.
Well done to the winners...but why three winners and not 3rd, 2nd &1st ?
tel Maybe because some entries might get the same the number of votes, then somebody would have to call it. It doesn't matter anyway, its only for fun. I think every entry is a winner in it's own way. Just watched the Timothy Small video on Lowry at the Lowry gallery. I noticed they claimed to understand the man but they didn't dig very deep. I don't think you can understand him unless you understand his affliction, aspergers syndrome, it certainly helps you read between the lines when you watch the documentaries about him. I will visit there when I can, thanks for the suggestion. I never thought I would say this, but I'd like to paint another two Lowry seaside scenes. I might be a little bit hooked, I can't stop singing that song he had in the charts . . . . "He painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats n dogs, he painted kids on the corner of the street in their sparking clogs . . . ."
