Reproductions

If you’ve ever visited one of the world’s great fine art museums, you’ve likely witnessed someone busily copying a painting from one of the masters. With a desire to learn from the very best, this is how Paul became comfortable with canvas, brush and paint, and with his own abilities. Paul has always thought that getting the colour right was one of the most formidable tasks in getting a painting right, and he attributes his fine art reproductions – in essence, his years of studying the styles and techniques of some of the world’s greatest artists – as the best teacher he could have conjured for himself to learn about colour… and also about shape, perspective, mood, and everything else that helps a painting speak to us. All of Paul’s reproductions began as a blank canvas, and ended often hundreds of hours later as a replica of, and tribute to, a Cezanne, a Michelangelo, or a Vermeer, among others. These are just a few examples.
