Dr Who series 5 ep 10 for Amy
- Thread starter FlyingSaucer62
- Start date
I can't tell if this is to me or Lightning, but if that was to me, I will be showing my progress as I go. The sketches I've done really aren't for public consumption. It's mostly squiggly lines and written notes trying to give myself a good sense of how the swirls flow.
When I do have something to show, I will post it. Anyone who's seen any of my threads knows I like to post a lot of progress pictures...maybe too many. :lol

Still looking forward to this being worked on. Definitely looking forward to progress by anyone.
So I went up the Cali coast this week and went into a little glass jewelery shop. The Vincent sunflowers painting was just hanging there on the wall. It was obviously a print but it was still very cool to see it just there. It was so tempting to just walk up to it and write "For Amy" on it haha.

Great thread. This painting has been on my list of things to do, and it's nice to know that others are having the same issues finding good reference pics of the entire painting. I had a couple of hours this afternoon having a go. I made up the missing parts as much as I could, and I'm still not completely happy with it. It looks too cartoony, and I think I need to add more texture with some thicker brush strokes. Any comments or suggestions would be great (please be kind! it is a first attempt). Can't wait to see what you talented guys come up with.
Cheers,
Richard

Think I've finished. Added more layers and more detail. It's difficult to make acrylics look like oil, but I think it'll pass.
Not too shabby. 
Did you use a thickening agent to make the texture more like oil? It's hard to tell by the pics.

Just to let you people know. The BBC are now making posters of The Pandorica Opens painting. I picked one up today in Forbidden Planet. Either they haven't been released officially yet, or they're a limited run... I can't find it on Amazon or indeed Forbidden Planets website.
Either way, it exists.

I did end up buying that poster at Forbidden Planet, and it looks great. My roommates (who aren't really Who fans) said it looks so cool it should be framed in the living room, but I was thinking of making a copy of it on canvas for my own personal display. Which may or may not raise an ethical question, which I'd like some feedback on. If I scan the poster and have it printed on canvas, solely for my own personal use to weather and make look more real and hang on my wall, and never sell it, is that considered recasting/inappropriate?

I would say its ok if its for personal use only since your not re sell it.

i think i miscommunicated, i am refering to the van gogh
You must mean the "For Amy" Sunflowers. I was referring to the other one "Blue Box Exploding". Sorry.
