The\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cPassion Triptych\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, painted between 1510-1520 by Bosch and his workshop. The original hangs in the museum and belonged to Menc\u00eda de Mendoza, a Spanish noblewoman residing in Valencia<strong><em>.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>There are some suitably surreal squares to paint which reflect the surreal times we have had lately.<\/p>\n<p>Tina says:\u00a0<em>\u201cI got the idea while watching copyists in the National Gallery<\/em>,\u00a0<em>a small crowd had gathered and<\/em>\u00a0<em>people seemed to be fascinated by watching someone paint, I thought how great it would be to invite the onlookers to paint<\/em>\u00a0<em>too<\/em>.\u00a0<em>I also did research into Old Masters\u2019 workshops and found out they didn\u2019t paint every part of their pictures but used assistants! I had the idea to make a collaborative painting in the same way but divide it up into squares in a democratic way and credit each person. Since then, I\u2019ve done many re-creations in places such as the National Gallery, London; the United Nations, Lebanon; and the Glastonbury Festival.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-510 ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-1024x683.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-scaled.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-scaled.jpg 2048w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/valencialife.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tina-Drawing-the-image-to-be-recreated.-Photo-by-Rosie-Mayell-1024x683.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s it like painting in the Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s so atmospheric.<\/em>\u00a0<em>The museum has been an incredible patron. I love working with\u00a0<\/em><strong><em>Estrella Rodr\u00edguez Roncero<\/em><\/strong><em>, the Head of Education, she had the vision to invite me the first time, even though it was a risk.\u00a0 Last year, we did an online re-creation during lockdown with people painting the squares in their homes and then uploading them. It was a huge success but it\u2019s so nice to be physically back<\/em>\u00a0<em>in the museum!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you need any experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>No experience is necessary, it\u2019s free and you can choose the square you want to paint. It\u2019s a way of demystifying oil painting and turning the audience of the museum into the artists.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The project will observe all Covid-19 protocols with two people painting on each canvas in 45 minute slots in a space that has plenty of fresh air.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tina says:\u00a0<em>\u201cThe idea is to copy your square as closely as you can but as everyone has different perception of colours and skill it becomes a dazzling patchwork of styles.
