What if...?

© 2008 Armando Salas.--- I often thought "What if...?" another artist paints by using a sketch of mine? What if the artist chooses the technique, the colors, all...? I'm sure the final result could be a huge surprise; each and every painting from the same sketch could be a huge surprise for me indeed:-). Just an idea and/or a challenge:-) If you, fellow artist, want to participate in this strange and innovative experience feel free to do it. Simply, e-mail to me and I'll send the original sketch in a bigger size to you.(I'll not ask for royalties:-)---- This is my W.I.P "Peixeiras". It still requires a lot of work. You can see the original sketch in my previous post.-------------UPDATES TO THIS W.I.P. can be seen at my Blog (there's a problem there because of Photobucket widget and the image appears on the right side; depending of resolution, the image can be off the screen). I already know how to correct it.

Hi Armando it's good to see that you are still here and still busy my friend :D A touch of Picaso here perhaps? :D I wish I had a fraction of your talent, this is beginning to look really good I must return and see the finished version. xxx

I like this as it is, would not try to copy it as I like photos. I enjoy the art side and think that anyone that picks up a brush, pen, etc are all talented in that is their gift. The other side to "what if" is that if they copy you, that is the sincerest form of flattery as it means that they think so much of it, they want one of their very own. Lovely image.

Your offer is very interesting Armando. I think even when you use somebody elses work and you work with is, without wanting to be a fraud( in that situation it needs to look like the original) you use your own technical skills and probably also different colors. Your artwork is marvellous. Have a wonderful sunday nightowl. :)

Armando Salas
Artist Reply: Hi, nightowl :-) What are you doing under the sun? Oh, yes, the sunlight only affects vampires, not the nightowls! :-) LOL!:-)--- I totally agree with you, dear Thea. As a matter of fact, I am more than surprised: all the paintings are the same, all of them are totally different ones. This one is an experience I'll never forget. How are you? Wishing only the very best to you and your dear ones, you already know. Thank you for your visit and comment.

Hi Armando. What a fun idea! Let me join the others and see what I can do. Love a challenge:-)

Cool idea Armando! I'd like to give it a try, weird result guaranteed.

Reminds me of the work of Picasso, Armando. Now you want your friends to do your work in their styles or just do art forgeries???

Armando Salas
Artist Reply: Hi, Seth. Every artists MUST make THEIR OWN version. I only propose human shapes and composition. My sketch must be only taken as the basis. I think the freedom to choose technique and colors is the key. I'll be happy if the result simply "reminds" my sketch.--- About the references to Pablo Picasso, I'm a bit surprised. Although a Spaniard too, I must confess I don't remember most of his art (I really am a comics designer:-). The style of this sketch is -in a way- inspired by another Spanish artist I liked so much when I was a kid. He painted very colorful images for kids. I don't remember his name but I save those old magazines. I'll search for them to let you know the artist that influenced me so much. I think it's a good idea to put few of his works at my blog.---- Hmmm... By the way... are you brave enough to accept the challenge?:-) LOL!

Nice one again, Armando... I would like to play the challenge too... does it have to be colorpencil?? (not digital though... I wanted to play with my oil pastel and watercolor..) Cheers, Keiko

Armando Salas
Artist Reply: Hi, dearest Keiko. Glad to know you're ready to paint and post again. (The snake and the apple :-)))). Of course, you choose the technique and colors. My sketch is taken as the basis only. Looking for your version, I'm totally sure I'll adore it! --- Good morning from Spain. A radiant sun in sky and the beauty of nature around. I want to share all of it with you. Cheers, White Cornsnake (LOL! Looks like I'm an indian chief:-)))

Artist Reply: Forgot: I'll send the sketch in a bigger size. Please check your -mail.---You know, I draw editorial daily strips. Newspaper "El Correo Gallego" allows people to comment on drawings, articles, etc. Yesterday I wrote about you, your skane and me too. Difficult to translate step by step, but I wrote about you, the snake, the chosen name :-) Although it's the last comment, it appears on the top and my nickname is LAPIZFEROZ (=FIERCE PENCIL:-).
