Gouache paintings, related and Zorn[edit]

Image 1 - Självporträtt av Anders Zorn's self portrait, 1896
Image 2 - A paint set with gouache paint, brushes and palette. Gouache is water-based, but uses larger particles of pigment that remain suspended in the medium, which is also demonstrated by the cleaning water to the right.
Image 3 - Sold for 26 million SEK, Sweden's priciest painting ever


All HQ, all have EV, Image 2 is perhaps one of the best showcasing the medium itself.

  • Not sure what this is, you trying to do a set, or each individually? — raekyT 04:33, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • It was just easier (by some definition of the word, or had seemed to be anyway at some point) than creating a PPR page for each of them =\ --I'ḏ♥One 15:22, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's no problem, just wasn't sure what was going on. I'll look at all 3 here in a bit and give you my thoughts. — raekyT 19:50, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • File:Självporträtt av Anders Zorn 1896.jpg, the image history shows another version, facing another way and drastically different colors, which is right? Plus I think the picture is overall too small to be a FP, VP is a maybe provided you could clear up if this is the correct orientation and color. — raekyT 19:59, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • According to these reproducers[1] this version is the right direction, but this might just be that same one. --I'ḏ♥One 20:08, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • File:Gouache.jpg seems to posed and EV is questionable, not something I'd think of as representative of the painting style, not sure what use it is? — raekyT 20:00, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, I just thought it was a very good example of the medium itself instead of something created from it... --I'ḏ♥One 09:21, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • File:Sommarnöje (1886), akvarell av Anders Zorn.jpg again significantly different colors in the two versions in the history, plus just doesn't seem big enough for a FP nomination, and EV is less than the self-portrait. Is this painter well known for this style of painting, as in is there many references that cite him as an example of this style? — raekyT 20:02, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not sure I agree that it's not big enough, but he's got a whole museum to dedicated to him[2] so I guess to some serious art enthusiasts he's kind of a big deal. I don't know much about him, but I think he was pretty talented, the water is very impressive and I thought this painting was as well. --I'ḏ♥One 20:08, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • You could give #3 a try at FPC to see what others think, not sure on #1, and #2 is probably no chance. — raekyT 00:16, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
