Dang! Great job!. My only criticism!.!.!.use a fan brush, or just an old worn out soft brush, to work your edges into the background!. I have to work real hard at making things look like they are not cut out with SHARP edges and "glued" onto the background color!. Utilize "lost" edges!. Make it all "marry" in together to make it cohesive with each added shape settling into the one behind it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes they do !!!

VERY good Annafur !

I have a friend in the UK, who is a surrealist painter, and he was friends with Miro, they exhibited together!. A few years ago I did an interpretive copy of Miro's painting Carnival for him!.

Again, I stress that your effort is outstanding, you should be very proud of that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They do look similar!. !. !. or you can at least tell which painting you were trying to replicate!. It'd be foolish of your teacher to expect you to create an exact copy of an artist's painting!. !. !. but it looks good to me!

I kind of like yours better than the original!. ;-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

you really did a good job, the differences are minor and i can't tell where you messed up, i think if you don't say anything to your teacher, you will get an a or a b on it!. i'd give you an a, because it is a very good replication in my honest opinion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What impresses me as much as anything is the way you copied the background textures!. Many people would have just overlooked or ignored that!.

Nice job overall!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are very similar, but they are different as well!. When looking at yours I knew immedialty you were being influenced by Miro, but it stands on its own as your and it is good that way too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ya i think so, theres only minor differences which is good because it would be weired if they looked identicalWww@QuestionHome@Com

They looked alike to me but I am no art expert!. You are very good and could make a living in restoring paintings!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have succeeded!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
