Beach Oddities, sea-watercolor, 6 x 9 inches |
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.

You painted these? So creative..
by the way, I am Claire, coming by via Betsy's blog..
It is nice to be part of your beach walk, I love the subtle colors you use.
...cool! Love that you were able to squeeze a little more life out of the Sharpie! My fav is the snake. Your notes indicate it was a "rubber" snake, but it looks as real as can be in your painting!
Hey Liz, the snake was real indeed. One doesn't offen get to see that species (Rubber Boa) because they are slow and secretive, but I glimpsed the tail end of it sliding off the path as I approached. I know they are docile so I lifted it out of the tall grasses to get a better look. It is very smooth-scaled snake with just a hint of pink under the tail tip.
Say, does this painting look like I did it on yellow paper? I am just now viewing it on a friend's computer, and boy the colors are off! Thanks, Lorrie
What a fun collection of beach treasures. Interesting to hear about the Sharpie that you found.
