This month’s challenge is GREEN
Green is such an every day color and yet it’s not the easiest color for artists to portray. Having a limited range of greens makes the challenge even so much more fun.
Your subject matter can be any fauna, flora, building structure, vehicles, landscapes and abstracts.
Mix your greens to get the desired shade to get as near as possible to a believable hue in your painting. Use pinks, greys, yellows, browns,blue, black ,white and purple.
Post wips and discuss your painting if you wish to.
Most important though: Have fun!Christel
This blue cheeked bee eater is A4. the original background is sky blue and i didn’t like it so i changed it to green. It didn’t come out too great either and I played around adding a paspartout(spelling?) That helps against the mass of green:lol:
