Lets draft the world's best paintings. I'll include mixed-media stuff, too, as long as it hangs on a wall - but nothing that can be defined as sculpture.

I'm thinking 5-10 rounds, depending on how many people we get.

Who's in?

single works or artists?

way to call "shotgun" before the rules of engagement are laid out

Ain't nobody got time for rules and stuff.

I'll join.

I'm out. After dogs playing poker and Elvis on black velvet I got nuthin!

I'm in.

Can someone ban this jackass who is posting paintings in this thread? What an ******* thing to do.

single works

lets do it... review of piece required, that way the "pretty picture" will not apply

At least he had poor taste, so no one has been sniped.

Ay yo, cut me some slack here, I'm new to this sort of thing.

Okay, I will...but you do not post possible picks in a draft thread unless you are taking part in said draft and it is your turn. It is considered poor form.

Not a regular in this forum, but, I'd like to participate in this draft. I think I can contribute and provide good write-ups for my choices, I've read the other draft threads, so I understand how it works too.

The rules aren't hard.

- Wait your turn.
- If you hate a pick, make it known with your own write up.
- If someone else picks your upcoming pick, whine about it for three pages.
- Eddie Izzard is the best #1 pick ever.

This pretty much covers it.

I'm in.

"as long as it hangs on a wall"

I know a few people I would like to do this to.

Sounds like it has potential for mind expansion. I'm in.

Searching the web now for a painting of Eddie Izzard.

So far:

Dominic
JohnCole
DaveT
Mschu18
Zeno
Kudzudemon
Ahutz (noobs always welcome - until you screw up!)

Looks like a nice, compact draft. I'll start it tomorrow. If others want to join, they are welcome.

I don't have time to do a draft at the moment. This is a great draft idea and I am definitely looking forward to being an observer.

From Wiki:

Fresco (plural frescos or frescoes) is a technique of mural painting executed upon freshly laid lime plaster. Water is used as the vehicle for the pigment and, with the setting of the plaster, the painting becomes an integral part of the wall. The word fresco (Italian: affresco) is derived from the Italian Adjective fresco meaning "fresh". Fresco may thus be contrasted with secco mural painting techniques, on plasters of lime, earth, or gypsum, or applied to supplement painting in fresco. The fresco technique has been employed since antiquity and is closely associated with Italian Renaissance painting.
