Contest Week 79: 18th Century

Because the 18th century saw multiple art movements in Europe, we're going to have themes of both the late Baroque and the Rococo. I would especially recommend looking up Jean-Antoine Watteau and Thomas Gainsborough.

Your goal will be to make an original artwork (not a copy of another painting) that reflects the styles of one of these two art movements.

-Contest Week 79 will be open for entries for roughly 2 weeks starting from now until Saturday, June 21, at 11:59pm PST. That's the end of the day on Saturday for people in the US.

***SHOWCASE ANNOUNCEMENT!***

After every 10 contests, one contest winner from the 10 winning entries will be put in the Showcase Gallery.

I think you should refine it "Draw Marcello as
The Blue Boy"

Your goal will be to make an original artwork (not a copy of another painting) that reflects the styles of one of these two art movements.

I love that this is part of the contest. That should make it much more interesting than just dupes of the originals!!

Well this one is beyond my meager skills.. so far no other entries that I see either..

So far there's only 3 entries that I can identify as being part of this contest. Maybe people shouldn't vote for something they aren't going to draw x_x

davincipoppalag has mad skills though...

Yea..they shouldn't ..

Hey, don't knock it yet, I'm drawing :D.

Yay

Darn it... trying to submit my (all be it still unfinished) drawing, and I get a pesky "500" message. Of to Paris tomorrow for the weekend, so I have to get to bed early (have to get up at 4 am .... :S ). Taking a shower now and hoping I will be able to submit when I'm done... aarrrgh.

Have fun in Paris!
