Around the World in 80 Artists
What is this? A jigsaw puzzle? Visual sudoko? Arty scrabble?
Paul Helleu Sketching with his Wife by John Singer-Sargent
In 2014 New Zealand artist Richard Robinson organised 80 artists to collaborate on a reproduction of a work by John Singer-Sargent.
And for comparison, the original work.
I was lucky enough to be allocated the artist's hand holding the brush. 3rd row from the bottom, centre.
This was my rendering.
I chose to paint in quick and confident strokes, as apparently Sargent used in is famous live portrait painting sessions.
