About The Artwork

Here is my copy of Vermeers Milkmaid painting. I painted this as accurately as humanly possible, brushstroke for brushstroke. Painting using Vermeers style, technique and materials. Using the exact same pigments as he used. The only thing I could not copy of course are the cracking of the paint and varnish. I decided to do a "copy" of an old masters painting, basically so see if I could do it. So I chose a Vermeer painting, as he is one of the hardest artists to copy due to the special technique he employed. I hope you like it? Please note that Vermeer did not sign his Milkmaid painting, so neither have I. Though I have signed it on the back, so that it would not be classed as a forgery! (It is also painted on modern Linen stretched canvas, so that is a dead give away that it is a copy!) The painting took me well over 6 months to paint, as I had to use many layers of glazes, as Vermeer himself would have done.

John Silver B.A. (Hons) Born 1959 in Macclesfield Cheshire. UK. I am a professional artist. I am extremely lucky to be known throughout the world for my art. I was awarded the "best artist award" in 2012 by the Guild of Erotic Artists. I was also awarded Best new artist by the Fine Art Trade Guild in 1998. My work is currently published by one of the World's largest publishing companies, based in Italy and California. I have been painting for over 50 years and I have no intention of "slowing down"! I have spent most of my life studying the techniques and knowledge of the Old Masters in great detail. I paint many artworks using these traditional methods in oils. I use the 500 year old techniques and materials of the Old Masters, such as Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Titian, Vermeer, Rubens, etc. I am currently in love with impressionism and abstract and am producing paintings based on these technique. I love the freedom of expression that these techniques give to me. Having spent most of my life painting realism using traditional techniques, this is like a breath of fresh air to me! My work is in private collections all over the world, including those of many celebrities and British Royalty.
