The first artist given in the question was Gerhard Richter. I liked his work of painting on top of landscapes and portraits and though it was an interesting approach; mixing photography and art. I tried out a couple of copies of his work using my own photographs in the second picture down on the right and the piece in the bottom right corner. I rather enjoyed doing that. I used a pallet knife and acrylic paint to get the desired effect like Richter's work.
