Berkeley Tree, 8 x 12 inches, watercolor. |
The 100 Paintings In a Year Challenge is intended for artists that are dedicated to the growth and development of their style as well as their artistic voice. The challenge also provides a means for overcoming areas in need of improvement.
The paintings should be a mix of small, medium and large pieces, some sketches, plein aire, and studio work; work from life as well as from photos. The variety is meant to push the artist out of any rut, to provide ample opportunity to create no matter what other time obligations are going on, and to challenge the artist if they do not create in one of these categories. The work can be done in any medium, but it is strongly advised that the artist consider choosing one medium in which to do the Challenge as this will help facilitate faster growth than trying to master multiple mediums.
DO NOT JUDGE the artwork! When a piece is complete, set it aside and move to the next piece of work. Learning to suspend judgement of our work is a major step forward in the development our skills.
Once committed, the expectation is that the artist will fully participate in the blog by posting on a regular basis as well as leaving encouraging comments of others' artwork through comments.
The challenge may be started at any time.

Hi Lorrie,
Love this watercolor. Especially the reflections of the trees in the street. Very Nice
Isn't is great that we can eliminate the things we have no patience for like cars or people? I can relate! This really gives the feeling of a quiet, rainy day with your colors and brush strokes.
I love the watercolor feel of this painting! You capture the dampness too with you watery reflections.
Beautiful variety of color in this. It glows.
This is really pretty- my favorite part is the nice reflections, but I also love the way you did the soft background!
