Are you begging for idiot patrons here?

I can do better in my sleep, with a paint brush tied to my dick, a few brush strokes every ninety minutes,
masterpiece (compared to yours) by morning.

Strive to paint more like Kuhnert. Just a little detail and background, please.
This is cape buffalo impressionism:

Andrew's Buffalo sketch has more impressionism than the one depicted by Kunhert and is far more realistic.

I have seen many Buffalo in my lifetime, enough to say that the proportions of the one Kunhert has painted are somewhat dramatized and exaggerated.

On a rating of 10 I would give Kunhert's painting 9.5 for the background and 8 for the subject.

Andrew, please put Lindy and me down for a print of your final rendering of that magnificent buff, or the original, if still available.

It has a power lost on and surpassing the realists. It captures the movement, savagery, and full presence of the real beast, when seen up close and in the flesh.

As for the boorish and intruding critic on this thread, we should all ignore and stop reading his offensive taunts. There is no excuse for such behavior.

Beautiful work, my friend.

I'd like a better look of the Giraffe print.

Kunhert is unmatched as an artist. His paintings sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars and he is widely considered to be a master. His paintings of Lions are the finest the world has ever seen.

Yes, I have a talent and a BA Honors in Art. I simply have had to fall back on this qualification to survive this year.

Sure RIP does not like my work but the assassination on my character is uncalled for.

Art truly is in the eye of the beholder and indeed there are many contemporaries that I simply dislike. They are little more than New York socialites.

I have just been awarded another 120,000 acres of communal land across the river to reclaim and develop. All my money is going into wild Africa (much to the disdain of my wife) and it always will. Those who support me with the purchases of a print will have invested in Africa yet again.

These oil sketches are simply my way of rejuvenating my abandoned talent and I am happy the way that I have started. In another month or so I hope to produce larger paintings depicting compositions of animals in landscapes or maybe simply the landscapes that we all desire.

RIP your abstract attention has made my project a substantial amount of money in the last 24 hours and I thank you for that.

Mostly Kuhnert sketched in black and white.

Comment: That is a misinformation.
Kuhnert sketched in oil paint as much as pencil. Here is one of them, which "speaks" to me, though I am not selling or buying anything:



I rarely do nowadays as the color oil sketches sell well in large print format.

Great drawing is the foundational gift of all great painters, many modern artists not included.

Kuhnert signed print of a pencil drawing sells for $3,000 each.

Those few surviving "black & white" prints were published in the last few years of Kuhnert's life,
at the height of his fame as a painter. They were small editions of 60 to 100 in number.
WWI killed his plans for a fourth expedition to Africa.
WWII wiped away over 4000 of his estimated 5500 works.
He used pencil and oil in the field, working plein air.
He worked almost exclusively in oil, IN COLOR, in his studio.
He could complete a major painting in 4 days.

My prints will be a few hundred dollars in comparison.
Whatever the market will bear.
He is considered a master and I am not. Nor am I in his league.
But you repeat yourself.
