Can I Paint the Mona Lisa FROM MEMORY?

Jazza just kind of drew his own face on the Mona Lisa and thought we wouldn't notice

Josiah, have you considered painting her the way she originally was painted? We now know that she wasnt painted in yellowy-earthy colors, she was colorful, but faded after centuries

Drawing/painting a portrait without reference and only by memory is VERY DIFFICULT! You did amazing, it certainly gives the Mona Lisa vibe instantly 👏👏👏👏

Your content deserves more attention than it already gets. It actually inspires people to do something rather than just consuming something

The things that are throwing me off the most about your version is definitely the cool colours and her facial features. Other than that, I'm highly impressed. No one could ever look at your painting and not know what it is supposed to be. And even though there's a difference between yours and the original background, it actually blows my mind how well you remembered and executed that part. Even though I've seen the Mona Lisa many times, I still think I wouldn't have known what to do with the background, if someone asked me to paint it from memory. You're truly an amazing artist, and you keep proving it time and time again.

ok this is a rlly interesting idea, i wanna give it a go myself with some van gogh stuff!

I've seen pictures of the Mona Lisa done by Da Vinci's students at the time. They have been cleaned, which they'd never take a chance of damaging the real one. Those are much more colourful, and to make it look like the real one would take a wash over the painting to make it look like centuries of dirt and grime to get the colours we know. Good job though

You showed the Mona Lisa at the beginning of the video and I IMMEDIATELY forgot what it looked like 😂 The background was so tricky coz it’s kinda something you never think about unless you do so intentionally. I also started wondering halfway through the vid if her hands were in the right orientation but it was honestly a 50/50 😂 very impressive work from memory and entertaining to watch! Please do more 😁

Great work! I’d love to see you go all out on a traditional art piece. A character, a landscape, whatever you feel most comfortable and fancy doing. No challenges, no restrictions, just full on a demonstration of all your talent. It would be incredible, since you pull out incredible pieces with restrictions and things. Just a thought!

Crazy Impressive. When looking at your piece you can clearly tell it's the Mona Lisa. There is that thought that something is wrong, but you can't say what exactly. If anyone saw it they would be able to say without a doubt it's the Mona Lisa, and I think that makes your piece fantastic.

In terms of recreating the Mona Lisa overall, before I saw the original, I would have said a 7, but after seeing the original I would go to 7.5-8. You are obviously more familiar with the painting than I am. However, I think you undersell your skills, Jazza. No one's da Vinci, but you have to separate style from technique. Your are so good at what you do and your content always brings smiles. Keep up the great work.

This was awesome! I’d love this to be a series! Could do the Sistine Chapel Ceiling or Van Gogh’s portrait. Maybe even sculpture too! Really good stuff!

This kind of content is what I've been missing from your channel. Your recent videos have been amazing, genuine, and somehow nostalgic. Thank you for listening to yourself and to your community. Keep going, Jazza! :)

I remembered the actual background as being MUCH darker than it really is and her clothes as being more brown. You did an AMAZING job of recreating a painting from memory. This video gets a 10 out of 10!

I literally watched Da Vinci Code yesterday and they noted the horizon as well. I never noticed that before. I was surprised the same way when I found out years before that she doesn't have eyebrows

Your piece is definitely the Mona Lisa. There are some differences, colour pallet and face shape being primary among them from what I can see, but it's mainly nit picking. It could always be better, always be closer, but as a memory exercise, this is fantastic.

Really good. Missed the column edges and low wall behind her, but most people don’t remember those details. Well done!

It's SO GOOD to see and hear Gareth. He was deeply missed!

I love the interpretation that was created from memory. I would love to see other famous artworks be given this same treatment. I really noticed more about the Mona Lisa this way. I had never really paid attention to the background details before.
