Recap of the 30 Day Challenge
This post is really a recap of the 30 Day Challenge by Leslie Saeta, in which I painted each day, from direct observation (no photos at all !), and worked my way around the color wheel. I also challenged myself to paint 4 plein air pieces from the car studio. One day was warm enough to actually stand on the street; but after an hour the temp seemed much cooler and I was glad to be done. Some of the paintings are quite complete, others I consider to be studies. I made this collage with picmonkey, which I plan to work more with. I didn't have the time or patience last night to design my own grid and include all 30 paintings. Oh well.
One thing I have learned throughout this last month painting is to let go of the inner critic, the one voice so quick to say what I haven't done, how I've fallen short, how it could be better. I applaud and amaze myself and all my fellow artists who took part in this challenge. We are nothing less than one determined bunch!
You did a fantastic job, Anne! I love seeing your paintings all together - at least part of them. I am going to use picmonkey more, too. I want to find some time to just play with it a little and figure out some things.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, me too about picmonkey. I'd like to use it to group the paintings by color and post about them, also maybe for marketing.
ReplyDeleteYour collage looks lovely, Anne. And glad to see you're still painting after our challenge.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, these paintings sure do look great together in your collage. Thank you so much for adding me to your blog list!
