If you’ve ever taken an art class, I’m sure you’ve copied the work of a “master”. Redrawing and painting great works of art is one of the tried and true methods used to teach basic skills. I love the way some artists are taking masterworks and recreating them in fun and interesting ways. Check ’em out!

As a Frida fan, my heart is lightened seeing the Frida dog… but where’s the unibrow!
I love the style of the 1st painting. I have always wondered what a modern renaissance would look like. I have always loved the feel and richness of that style.
