Welcome to our July 2019 Watermedia Challenge. It’s a pleasure to be your host this month.
I hope you’ll find some photos here to use as references in your watermedia art. These are all from Pexels or Pixabay.
They’re little heavy on plant life and sunsets, but I tried to include something for everybody.Post your work here any time you’d like, as often as you’d like.
Newbies are definitely welcome.
OPTIONAL TWOFER CHALLENGE
If you want more challenge, try doing more than one piece from the same reference photo.
Some of the variety between your pairs might be:
Different view angle, crop, or focal point.
Different media, techniques, or palettes.
Quick vs detailed.
Loose vs not so loose.
Realist vs abstract and everything in between.I’m sure you can think of more.
You can post your works in a pair together or at different times. The differences between them can be huge or subtle. Your choice.
Again, this added challenge is optional. It is perfectly fine for you to post only one work from a given reference photo, just as we usually do.
The main thing is: Have some fun! … CP
Happy painting! ... CP
