Description

8x10" gouache and ink on board

This was a fantastically fun commission after Napoleon at the Saint-Bernard Pass by master Jacques-Louis David. I know I didn't get the horse quite right, but it works, and I actually kinda like the end result. It makes me want to do more master copies with cephalopods replacing the subjects. Might make them more realistic, though, so they fit in with the original painting...

What do you think are some good master works to practice with octopus?

Totally faved this ... love the original and your version equally!

How about the "Last Supper" with Jesus and the disciples? Can't recall the artist - my lack of art knowledge is showing ...:(

I have to second "Birth of Venus", that's just perfect material!!
