Copyists are artists who set up easels in a museum to make an exact replica of an old master painting using the actual painting as reference. Experts at the Louvre wondered if using my pens and a sketchbook, could I replicate a master painting from their permanent collection? Because of Covid19 I couldn’t paint from the original and had to use a photo from an art book instead. They were stunned by my replica of “The Marriage At Cana,” by painter David Gerard in 1683. Some Louvre historians had trouble distinguishing between the original and mine done with Muji colored pens. So they’ve asked me to do a few more.
