Probs about 10 hours in total. Maybe a bit more. You have to wait for paints to dry and come back to it. Canvas and paint probs cost about £120.
Personally believe anyone can learn. Been teaching a few mates on Zoom since first lockdown who’ve never painted before and it’s surprising how quickly people progress with just a few simple techniques and practice. Plenty of good tutorial videos on YouTube.

JJ stick to “big Dunc” those are techniques you are ues to.

1968 - The Futuro House, designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, groovy.
Originally designed as a Swiss chalet.

And it was easy to move house.

Only around 100 were sold, many falling into disrepair. However, some survived :
Paris

Berlin

On top of a Tampa strip club.

And more prosaically, there was one in Todmorden, Lancashire.

Victorian spiritualist and medium Georgiana Houghton produced a series of 'spirit' paintings said to be guided by Archangels and Renaissance painters. Painted in the 1860s and 70s, 50 years before the advent of abstract art, only 46 out of 155 works have survived.

This short video may be of interest to anyone who likes Art repair/restoration etc. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but, personally, I could watch this type of stuff all day.

Just taking the piss really, but well done to him:

Italian Artist Salvatore Garau Has Just Sold an Invisible Sculpture for $18,000 USD​

Made from “air and spirit.”

---

Italian artist Salvatore Garau has just sold an invisible sculpture for $18,000 USD. The Io Sono (I am) sculpture, as the artist explains, exists but just not in material form, and is actually more like a “vacuum.”

The 67-year-old went on to elaborate that, “the vacuum is nothing more than a space full of energy, and even if we empty it and there is nothing left, according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, that ‘nothing’ has a weight. Therefore, it has energy that is condensed and transformed into particles, that is, into us.” Much like how we “shape a god we’ve never seen.”

The “sculpture” is intended to be displayed in a 5×5-foot square and must be displayed in a private space free from obstructions where lighting and climate control are not required. Reiterating that even if you can’t see it, it does exist, Garau included a certificate of authentication to the purchaser.

Here's a photo, for those who want to... erm... 'see it'.

I paint in mostly abstract expressionism but sometimes a selfie pops off the canvas ... thus another insomniac creation
