Technically, to paint the Creation of Adam by Michelangelo Buonarroti you'd have to paint with tempera paints onto wet plaster. If this plaster is part of a ceiling, as is the case of the Sistene Chapel, you'd paint it much larger than life so the people 70 feet below could see it without squinting. My reproduction painting is done in oil paints on a small piece of canvas sheet measuring about 5 inches by 8 inches, meaning you still might need to squint if it was right in front of you, and I didn't really paint like Michelangelo painted. But I still liked to reproduce the famous fresco in my own way.
