WELCOME TO THE January 2018 DIFFERENT STROKES CHALLENGE
[/SIZE]
If you would like to host a Different Strokes, please see the Schedule thread here https://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/show….php?t=1302516Please read carefully the guidelines below.
GUIDELINES:
On the first of each month a reference photo (or photos) or an idea or subject will be posted in a thread entitled “Different Strokes”.All entries must be for this challenge and in acrylics – any type of acrylic.
Join in the discussion about the project – it’s friendly and fun to learn how others are coping/struggling/thriving!!! But no visual images!
Help can be gained from asking but also from looking for resource materials elsewhere – the RIL e.g.
A ‘reveal’ date for all is 21st of the month – that gives us 3 weeks to make the work, plus an extra week for latecomers.
**PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD WORK TO THE THREAD BEFORE THE 21ST OF THE MONTH.** Much more exciting and fun to see what ‘masterpieces’ appear! If work is uploaded early it will be moved to a safe place until 21st.
At the end of the month the thread /discussion will be closed and a new challenge will begin.
**Please note, the single ‘reveal’ date is chosen so that we do not influence each other with our individual interpretations …… that’s the whole point of it being called ‘Different Strokes’!
By all means ask questions in the thread or initiate discussion about the challenge – just don’t post images!!!
The challenge this month is “In a Song”
Musicians create such amazing visual images in our minds with their music and lyrics.
Please create an artwork from the images in a song.
Please list the Musical Artist or Group and The Song Title.
Also include any lyrics that are [/SIZE]relevant to the artwork.
Or all or the lyrics if you so desire.So enjoy your LP’s, Cassettes, CD’s, MP3’s or streaming music and find something that inspires you!
Headphones not required but….they might be fun!:rolleyes:

My DeviantArt GalleryJanuary 1, 2018 at 2:36 pm #535173This really sounds interesting and may require a lot of thought. I love so many different types of music. I have just been watching a tribute to Doc Watson on PBS……a lot of history in music.

January 1, 2018 at 2:43 pm #535185I’m in. I think I know just the perfect music to accompany my ptg.
January 1, 2018 at 5:19 pm #535061I never listen to music when painting .. I like to concentrate on one or the other!
I think I’ve chosen but planning the comp might be a challenge!:lol:Cheers, Maureen

A painting is never really done as long as I can get my hands on it.
January 2, 2018 at 12:00 am #535208I think I have an idea.

January 2, 2018 at 11:23 am #535161That’s interesting Maureen. I find I can concentrate longer on painting if I have something to listen to.
C&C always welcome. Michelle
