Genuine fakes by Velasquez, only £35 each. Sounds like a bargain to me

Did you do the painting with Dulux too or did you splash out on acrylics?

I don't mind the C18th hoss chatter, but is there any chance this thread could get back to talking about baseball?

It was Dulux...believe it or not, high end emulsion is better quality than fancy Winsor & Newton primers...yeah, Dulux...then acrylic for speed...and finish off with oil paint.
Bake for 45 mins. at gas mark 6... |

Who talks the most pretentious chyt of these critics. Art, Theatre or Food?
|
|
By:
Good stuff
 .The Gauguins I've actually seen (Quai D'Orsay) were as flat as a pancake in appearance, no surface reflection at all, so you could get away with emulsion. John Myatt said that he did his forgeries with household paint and he fooled so called experts. |

You forgot wine Akabula. They are all the same, making a good living from hot air like any decent con-man (or woman).

I think it's got to be food critics. No matter how fine the food it's gonna be flushed.

I dislike them all and try to avoid reading or watching any of them.
Over complicate whatever they are talking about. I quite like listening to an art expert say how they know a work is by a particular artist but when they start explaining the content I switch off. They are all to be enjoyed and if you like it it is good art, wine food or whatever despite what any fecker says. |

Yass - most TV improves if you hit the mute button.

Wine experts talk a load of rubbish. Complete snobbery. "Electric Soup" was pretty popular around here in the 70s. Never here of it now. Mind you, I think most folk who drank it are dead now from liver disease. Sad.

Did you see Leigh Griffiths' six pack the other night? A six pack of Tunnock's tea cakes. Proper nutrition there for the discerning modern athlete.

Biggest crime here is the garden gnomes getting stolen by the local druggies. Funny, I`ve got some stoaters but they never get touched.

Aye, **** the Pasta, Tunnock`s all the way!

At least the horse picture is well drawn, most of these expensive paintings look like they've been done by a first year art student (at best). I'm glad I'm not cultured!!! Lots of people think of abstract painting that ' I could do that ' But the reality is - you couldn't . |

One for Mac :
MAC CONNOR...commercial artist...he was on CH4 NEWS on Friday, in a 10 minute interview, speaking from his Manhattan apartment. Really skillful artist and there were dozens of these guys, one better than another. Get this - he is 102 years old and lives with his cat. MAC CONNOR probably an alias of course as he is really Kenny Mann...  He has an exhibition in London at the moment - if you like MAD MEN you'll like these paintings. Most are done with gouache on illustration board or masonite, which is a type of hardboard I think. Don't know if CH4 news still have this up on the website - must be near the end of the programme. These guys - so skillful. |
|
By:
You know what? I've had 18 goes at spelling this guy's name and I still can't get it right.
Started off with MATT CONNORS...anyway... MAC CONNER - that's it - MAC CONNER is the guy's name. 102 years of age. |

By:
When you think of the horsecrap Jack Vettriano churns out - Mac Conner is ten times better.

By:
A fine craftsman Velasquez, his work is reminiscent of Pop Art. (might even be pop art
 )http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/10/mac-conner_n_5793800.html I find gouache works similarly to acrylics and lacks the subtlety of watercolour. At least it doesn't feck your brushes up  . |
|
By:
Hee hee, yes, Foinavon...I've never tried gouache!
I knew an artist - vg too - who swore by it...he thought it was the best and most durable paint he ever used. Just raided the garage there and found a 2.5 litres tin (unopened) of Craig & Rose Arabian Red Chalky Emulsion...am now transferring it to empty gherkin jars by way of backscratcher and spoon.....over.....hee hee...the backscratcher is to stir the paint...it's been lying awhile...this is just about exactly the colour Munnings would often use as a primer...Indian Red, Burnt Sienna, Venetian Red, Arabian Red...in other words : BROON!! |

I once bought several hundred tubes of gouache and watercolour when WH Smith were shutting down their art dept. - the woman at the checkout refused to believe the price when I told her it was ten tubes for a pound...had to march her round to the shelf with a handwritten notice...even then she thought I'd taped up the notice myself...I bunged the paints under the sink and have never used them...hope they haven't dried up...wouldn't be such a bargain after all...
Yeah, it's funny how the guys that copied the comic artists and commercial artists became super famous and rich while the real "pop" artists just muddled along. |
