Has Jerry Saltz already weighed in on this?
Either way, TikTok user Camryn Fred went to the popular social media app on Tuesday to prove that Northwest has indeed painted an impressive Bob Ross-style work commissioned by Fred’s mother, an art teacher.
The short track begins with Fred saying that she never thought she would have to speak on behalf of Kim Kardashian and North (7), but feels it is necessary given the setback the family has received.
She shared screenshots of herself at age seven and stands next to the same painting that Kardashian shared.
‘My mother taught me how to do it, and she taught North two weeks ago how to do the same. She has been an art teacher for 30 years, and everyone who comes to her classes goes through the same painting as they started. ‘
She then shared a photo of herself and her mother – the instructor of North.
The authenticity of North’s work was questioned within moments after Kardashian, 40, shared it, with commentators not wanting to believe the 2nd class created the painting.
Kardashian doubles in defense of her firstborn and is with BFF Tracy Romulus, who confirms that her own daughter is taking the same art class.
“Both girls are in an art class together and learning oil painting techniques from an instructor,” Romulus explained in an Instagram story. “They spend weeks on one painting at a time and are incredibly proud of themselves once they have completed a project.”
