Art Challenge #4

Two-Eyed Purple People Eater

 

(Second cousin, twice removed, from the one-eyed purple people eater.)

Art Challenge 3

 

Glad I finally just sat down and did it.

Art Challenge 1

 

Cat Boy.

I had trouble saving the reference photo to my pc. Since I wouldn't have the photo handily available to reference, I decided to simply draw a combination cat boy from my imagination. Colored pencil. Sketch book.

Sandy's art blog will have links to all the other entries.

Is It a "Gorf" or a Frog?

Sandy's challenge was to create a piece of art using her photo of a ceramic frog found here.

 

This was done with color crayons and I couldn't avoid the reflective glare from the flash. Since that is the case, I'm saying the reflection helps the frog look like ceramics. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I don't know why I still attempt to use crayons. I don't care for them.

"Help!! I'm Being Goosed!"

 

Watercolor on 140 lb paper.

The reference source is a photo of Sandy's grandson being chased by a goose.

A "Side" Challenge... Anyone up to it?

Anyone up for a little 'side challenge'.... you know, something to work on inbetween the letters? Here's a little angel calling for a portrait. In any medium, etc. Take a week or two if you want... just don't take too long or I will forget what its about.

When you're done and have posted it to your blog, please come leave a comment here so I can come see. (although I'm sure I'll see it since I visit your blogs so often.)

Here, below, is the angel to create... see her wings? If you need to see a bigger version, click here and then click once again on the photo. That will take you to a huge version. Also, there are other poses to chose from if you want something a little different.

Anyone Up for a Long Term Art Challenge? (semi long term)

I was just over checking out Karin Jurick's blog "A Painting Today" and read that she is starting a new series of paintings. Its going to be an A to Z series, but not the typical A is for Apple thing. A would be for other things.

Thats when the pilfered idea knocked me over... "hey", I said to myself, "that would be a kewl idea for 'us' to do... an a-to-z series." ('us' meaning anyone who reads this and wants to do it... even lurkers. This is what we do to keep practicing the creation of things. No skill or talent needed. Just guts to post it. hahahaha But no, seriously... lets just be funny. more laughing at my self and how corny I can be sometimes.)

We could create a piece (or more if so inclined) of art (any medium, style, blah blah) and post it once a week. I say once a week thinking of those who actually have lives to live. (or we could post it any time we wanted to and the challenge would be each individual getting thru a to z without any schedule to keep.) If one found oneself in the zone they could go ahead and create as many alphabet thingies they wanted to and save for posting later. Or not. Post them whenever.

You know what... some times one can be so loose with the requirements that things fall apart. How about commenting on how you'd like to see it done.

Whadda say, gang? We can use my uncle's barn and put on a whole Broadway production with only a bale of hay! (referencing the old Judy Garland/Andy ?? movies. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're just young so don't worry about it.)

I almost forgot to mention.... I love Karin's painting style. If you haven't already done so, check out the rest of her blog and she also has other sites listed on her sidebar. You won't be disappointed. Well, unless you're into something else.
