WELCOME TO THE August 2018 DIFFERENT STROKES CHALLENGE
If you would like to host a Different Strokes, please see the Schedule thread here.
Please read the guidelines below carefully.
GUIDELINES:
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.
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.
Interpret the ideas any way you wish – be inventive, realistic, influenced by another style or ‘…ism’ – it’s up to you!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: Grant Wood ‘s American Gothic
.
Many parodies and tributes exist of this picture. Would you like to do one?
Bill was a long time valued member of our community who passed away after a lengthy illness. We will miss him. Rest in peace.

My DeviantArt GalleryAugust 1, 2018 at 1:49 pm #666749Ooh how interesting. There is a wonderful old “Ontario gothic” style building near my office that I have been meaning to paint. I have a gothic idea brewing already.

August 2, 2018 at 12:15 pm #666743[FONT=”Courier New][/FONT]Sorry I couldn’t participate last month and may not this month either. I downsized to a small house and am still trying to find my art stuff. Haven’t painted since the end of June. Right now I have no place to paint, my easel is embedded in the garage stuff and I have no idea where my brushes and paints are.
August 3, 2018 at 4:48 am #666706Good luck with all that sorting and sifting Jim – awful job!
We look forward to you finding those brushes and paints soon.:)Cheers, Maureen
