A visual of my room from the outside in colour matching the colours from the painting

When recreating this with gouache, I wasn’t really happy with the outcome of the colour and the drawing of the model in white and in brown. Just the fact that the colours were a lot more brighter and saturated than that of the original work but there were some details I forgot to add in now that I’ve noticed them which are half of the spiral bits from the window and the model in brown at the bottom left corner.from what I've read What Matisse is doing here is bringing in a lot of dichotomies between nature and culture, between a work of art and life because it's very unclear here sometimes what is actually real that he's painting, and what is art. We also have a kind of meditation, I think, on emotion and sensuality, versus reason and calculation.When recreating this using similar colour palette to that of the artist’s workI wasn't really fond of it probably due to where I place the colours or maybe because I used gouache instead of oil paint to experiment with which at that time I didn’t own or have I ever used oil paints. I was happy with how I’ve sketch out the drawing but after putting on the colours I just don’t like it. I wasn’t really into the dull colours it just wasn’t for me but maybe if I had chosen a different subject to paint it would’ve been better.

I didn’t recreate this work to it’s exact point but I’ve tried using mono print to recreate it and experiment with it using similar coloured papers to the original to closely stay similar and it was a lot more fun this way because I didn’t had to be really detail about it just went with the flow of how I see the artist’s work and outlining it with blue it was quite fun. Because the artist realistic ways in painting the model was really too good I don’t have that skill so i just outline what I see with pencil which kinda match the rest of lines in this work of mine.Now that I’ve finally gotten my hands in oil paints this was my first attempt to colour matching it with oil paints and it might be a bit too blue unlike from what the original artist’s. but I quite like the outcome and how the oil paint made it look. But yeah overall this was probably one of my favourites out of the others.

Interior with Doorway, 1962

Richard DiebenkornOil on canvas27 7/10 × 23 2/5 in70.375 × 59.5 cm

"Interior of a Doorway" presents a view from within Diebenkorn's studio, looking out onto a sunlit street with Berkely hills in the distance. While many of his interior scenes are filled with a single figure seated in a chair, here we encounter only an empty chair, heightening the elegiac mood of this work.

Recreated using gouache

Recreated Oil paint view from my bedroom window

I’ve tried to recreate the same painting with gouache and this was the closes I could try though some small details were missing and I’m aware that the artist used oil paint in this piece which I didn’t had the time. I liked how he painted the room in a dark blue to hint that it looks and felt like it’s darker inside and how bright it looks outside was with the folding chair bright blue as if the outside light had caught the light. Well at least thats what I think.
And in this next one is a painting of my window looking looking out I tried replicating the same effect he gave from his painting but this time using the medium oil paint and closely colour matching with the original painting by the artist. I was quite happy with how the dark blue turned out and the the curtains but the outside was looking a little dull especially the sky I’m not sure if it’s the paint or just maybe I’m not good at matching to that colour.

Home Alone 2019–20

Home Alone revolves around large-size paintings of solitary birds cramped in small cages

When recreating this with gouache I found it very cute. It's like if a child were an artist prodigy using colour block and it looked playful and simple. It sort of reminded me of that American kids cartoon Tweety in a cage, now I know that it’s most likely not that.But from what I’ve read, what the bird in the cage actually refers to outside art. Tal r depicts birds in an imperfect, almost childlike way saturated patches of Color, textured surfaces and simplistic forms inform his work , from colourful depictions of various birds to black and white still life on paper. I’ve recreated 2 more piece using moon prints print 1 dint had the cage because I forgot to outline it in black paint.
