This week’s inspiration on the Inspire Me Thursday website is an unusual one. The challenge is to create one’s own take on the painting “Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière” by French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres.
So, I forced the most painterly strokes I could from my Prismacolor markers and did the closest thing I’ve done to a “painting” since art school.
Here’s Ingres’ 1806 original that currently hangs in The Louvre in Paris.
Great work, Josh. This could hang in any museum…….
fantastic!!
ehh…needs more cartoon effects and accessories.
Love the pure simpilicity of your picture. It has worked really well!
I don’t understand. Besides the painting’s primary subject, where are the dead people? We need more cross-hatching in the Louvre.
I’m glad you took this one on. I love your “normal” posts, but i really see you challenging yourself with this one.
Fantastic Josh Pincus take on Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière!
this is simply gorgeous. gorgeous.
Nice rendition. Did you do any research into the history of the original? I would like to know, for example, why the hell is she wearing those awful brown gloves? They look like gloves that a farmer would wear to birth a baby cow!
