Event Description

SORRY, THIS EVENT IS FULL!

Join the fun of this group painting project. Paint a small section of this famous painting by John Singer Sargeant. (I'll send it to you when we're ready to start). There are 80 pieces and you'll get to paint one, which will be a fun experiment in colour and brushwork - really like painting an abstract. It'll be 10"x10", oil or acrylic.

Upload the photo of your piece when you're done (I'll tell you how) and I'll put all the pieces together to make a fantastic mosaic of this one great painting, by 80 different artists from around the world.

"Paul Helleu Sketching with his Wife" by John Singer Sargent 1889 The Brooklyn Museum, NY Oil on canvas 26 1/8 x 32 1/8 in.

There are only 80 places available so sign up now before they're all gone!

You will be able to purchase a print of the finished work at the cost of production and delivery. Your name will be listed with the work online. It will also probably be published in an international art magazine. By entering the project you waive your copyright of your painting. That there is the fine print.
I currently have no further plans for the project except that I might make the print available for public purchase if there appears to be interest in it, and if all goes well I'll probably run another similar project. Flying by the seat of my pants is what it's called. Come join in, see what happens! Enjoy!

Once we've got 80 people I'll get the ball rolling. JUST RSVP ON THIS PAGE TO JOIN IN.

Thanks

Comment by Nancy Sands on January 13, 2014 at 18:18: Phyllis, where did you see the list? I am totally in the dark about this. I clicked to join the project early in the process, but have no clue what the next step is. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Comment by Phyllis Henson on January 12, 2014 at 8:52: Carolyn, thank you so much. This is all new to me, but I am very excited,

Comment by Marilynn Jeffery on January 12, 2014 at 8:43: Going to start working on mine today.

Comment by Carolyn Brunsdon on January 12, 2014 at 8:20: Phyllis, click on the tab above that says "Group Project" (where you saw your name) It has all the info you need including how to find your "slice". There aren't any emails concerning this the directions are online and if you are confirmed, find your piece of the puzzle, download the image to your computer, and go for it! (Don't forget to "follow" that page by clicking the blue envelope underneath the comment box. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Comment by Phyllis Henson on January 12, 2014 at 8:11: I saw my name on the list but haven't received any emails.

Comment by Linda L. Kano on January 4, 2014 at 14:16: Well we could have 2 groups going and 2 different paintings. Then we could vote on the best. Nothing like a little competition going!
