I am doing a french project where it has to be visual and I decided to do a painting. Does anyone know a nice picture (when I mean nice I also mean easy) that I could paint that is done by a french painter? Please tell me the name of the portrait, the painter and if possible a website/link that I could click to veiw it.

Thanks in advance
ohh yeah I would appreciate it if it was an outside scene because I do those the best or flowers or water etc.

How about Monet? He’s definitely tied to the French art history and has done quite a bit of nature and flower painting. Take your pcik here:

and isnt too hard to do??
i have to do an accurate copy of a portrait and then i have to change the colours to show how different colours show different atmosphere,

John Linger Sargent has been one of my favorite about oil painting portrait artist.
Just a thought.

I think “Skull Portraits” could be a big business, what do you think?

I have done that before already! But, it is far more fun to paint what is in my imagination!

The name of the portrait is "The Crying Black Child"

I found this site, but the artist went by Matthew "Bay Bay" Williams not Bombay. I’m wondering if this could be it?

Some of the lectures were held in the portrait painter fiddés watt’s house in Gloucester Road
He had quite a large following and there must be people still alive who remember him

Google it "Wyeth .. lectures … London "

what about for sketching? im pretty good at drawing, but when it comes to acrylics,
I have problems making the colors match skin texture and color, maybe I should use oils??

Depending on the size of the canvas and how good you are at painting portraits, you can charge anything between $10 to $30. If you are really good at this you can even charge $50 or more. For sketching, amateur artists charge from $1 to $10.

You can try and make a start from Ebay. Art lovers buy amateur paintings and sketches from there all the time. You can start at a low price since you are just a beginner and see how that works out for you and once you get a good following you can increase the price. Be confident about the price you set. It shouldn’t be too low or too high and do not lower the prices all of a sudden if you see that you are not getting a good response as it can seem bad. Also once you have sold a couple of paintings you can go on to making a blog or website where you can display your artwork for people to view and buy from. Hope this helps.

I was watching How to be a Millionaire, and that was the question. The answer was , it was a statement used by a historical male to give a portrait painter instructions on how to paint him. Who was the historical figure

warts and all came from a person called Cromwell who was the rebelling side of the British civil war Cromwell had a lot of warts on his face which were big as well
