Variations on copies
. I can offer variations on the images you choose. A quite striking re interpretation is converting a normal oil painting into a grisaille , where the paintings colors have been replaced with a tonal arrangement instead with a warm black and white appearance. For those who didn’t know: The grisaille was part of a process in oil painting in which the subject was fully rendered in tones of black whites and grays then colour was added afterwards by the addition of subtle colour glazes slowly built up
Grisaille of self portrait by the artist Allan Ramsey dated about 1740 , presented in a contemporary frame .
