Copies of Famous Oil Paintings: Which of these is my Best Effort?


I've been painting reproductions in oil of famous masterpieces for practice. Each of my paintings is done at a different scale, and I never copy the artists' signature. I don't want anyone to think that I was a forger.

The drawing of me was made by DarthFar, one of the many talented artists at DeviantArt.com.

It's a good pencil portrait, but I didn't draw it. DarthFar of DeviantArt.com gets the credit for that.

Thank you. DarthFar is an artist from London, with whom I traded portraits. I should probably make sure that it's okay to reproduce his work here (although I'm sure it is.)

I love Mucha's work and your paintings are really good. I really like the drawing made by DarthFar. You're obviously very talented!

You're right; I got a little clunky with it. This isn't my usual style, so it was good education for me to attempt it.

I voted for Mucha's (I fell in love with his work ever since I visited his museum in Prague) but I would suggest that a finer, more defined, contours would improve it a bit.
