In this the first of my new series of Art for non-artists, I teach youse how to win The Wynne Prize for Australian Landscape painting and pocket a cool $25,000:
Step 1: Take an old but famous painting like this Dutch landscape from 1668
Step 2: Photocopy or scan it onto a smaller piece of paper so it looks like this:
Step 3: Apply some white-out:
Step 4: Darken the tone, colour in the bits, add a few stars and voila:
You is a master and you will fool the judges into thinking this is an original work and that it’s an Aussie landscape not a Dutch one.
And not only will you win $25,000 but also, lots of arty chicks will want to have sex with you.
(PS: Iain, I think you need an Art category, I am on a roll here)

I forgot to say that you should take special care in applying the white out. Make it thick and then the judges will think you used a pelett brush.
New category added for your writing pleasure Socky 😉
In another place there is a whining little bitchman that would argue that being able to steal other paople’s work is his right.
Leach (what a good name for a copycat artist!) has also done a self portrate that was a portrate of Hitler that he changed to hisself using the above method. But he only had to add a beard.
The Leach also won the Archieballs prize for his ‘painting’ of Tim Munchin which looked more like a photo too me.
Have a look:
Does that look like a painting or a photo?
Painting.
It might be a painting over a photo. That’s another trick I will teach in the future.
