Sorry, thought that was quite freaky.

Some fantastic portraits in there, but all that merging from one to another.... eeeuuuwww.

Aitch · 11/08/2007 23:05

you girls at the back, stop it! this is an art class. goodness, it would never have happened In My Day.

agree waynetta, i'd love to know who they were. it did get better from the impressionists onwards (Davreau, Bremneur, Michel Yarwood et al).

sorry miss

WaynettaSlob · 11/08/2007 23:07

(am such an ignoramus (art-wise I hasten toi add) that I didn't even know which ones were impressionists......)

Aitch · 11/08/2007 23:11

well, bobby davro, rory bremner and mike yarwood for starters.

when it all started to get a bit blurry and blobby, WS. although technically the blobbers may have been pointilists.

Seriously though, miss, tell me more about "a pretty white rendering... samey until electricity"
Can't face looking at it again so you need to explain (have looked at it a second time showing DH what I'm talking about here...)

liliac · 11/08/2007 23:25

all white! but very good.

MrsCarrot · 11/08/2007 23:30

that was lovely, though a little creepy in places

McEdam · 11/08/2007 23:34

wow.

Aero · 11/08/2007 23:35

I really enjoyed that, thanks Aitch.

moondog · 11/08/2007 23:52

How do they do that?

ProjectIcarus · 11/08/2007 23:52

I swear I saw Cilla Black in there.

TooTicky · 11/08/2007 23:54

I can't watch it. I'd like to but I can't. I have a problem with sitting still and watching things. It makes me all impatient and jumpy.
I'm just weird, aren't I?

Aitch · 11/08/2007 23:55

join peachy mclean in the corridor outside please, MissTicky...
