I’ve been working with an art coach for almost a year now, and have really enjoyed it. She’s in California so we meet online and she often gives me exercises to try as I work toward getting more clear about my artistic voice. This was a ‘paint in the style of…’ challenge, where I had to identify a photo, choose three artists whose work I love and then paint that scene in their style. It was so helpful as a way to get more clear about my own way of working, ironically.
The original photo is followed by, clockwise, the styles of Tom Perkinson, Jeane Weigel, and Grace Afonso.
I’m curious to know if you have a favorite. I’m going to paint the scene in my own style, so I’ll post that soon.
