Welcome to the Watermedia Challenge for September . I am your host for this month, and its a pleasure to be so.

I have a selection of photos to present. I do hope you are inspired to have a roaring time in your ‘art space.’ These are from my surrounds, subjects that I have taken, so letting you know… all free.

Thank you kindly to tuscanny for having hosted August… It was great fun being challenged by some of images.

Any newbies who would like to join in, please do so without hesitation, as you are all most welcome and encouragement will be offered.

Thank you, Merri. These are very varied and look so challenging! I must learn to simplify more. Often I see photos that look “too difficult” to try and then see someone with your talents take the best of it and produce beautiful art.

C & C encouraged!

Pick an item or three out of the still life and create your own composition.

I hope you all find something to inspire you and paint.

Please crop or distort or use your own imaginative palette to render what you feel comfortable with and what pleases you.
Enjoy and have fun. !

cheers

Merri.

Thank you Joy. I never expect anyone to copy the whole image. Parts of what you can use and you own imagination is really good. Go for it Joy…
I have included a still life, and its to be painted by pulling it apart and painting only what you want to use from it. I hope that its inspiring enough to be used.

The other veges one, which I have almost completed in colour pencil can be pulled apart too.

Enjoy and have fun with your own interpretation.

cheers
