I had no art training until I joined a class in our small village in Oxted Surrey (U.K.) in 2001. Since then I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about water-colour, pastel and oil painting. I have been really been inspired to try these different media by my art teacher. Now with no classes for a few years finding the Challenge sites has been a real boon, I am having a great time. The stimulation one gets from the challenges and the wonderful support from other artists has been fantastic.
Hi Sylvia, May I also recommend these challenges: ADayNotWasted.com CalypsoMoonArtistMovement.blogspot.com and

Hi Sylvia, I'm so glad to see you in the Challenges. I definitely agree with Jean, you must try The Virtual Paintout. It is so much fun searching Google maps to find your subject.
ReplyDeleteAnother one you need to visit is Artist Helping Artists hosted by Dreama Tolle Perry & Leslie Saeta. Find it at http://artistshelpingartistsblog.blogspot.com/p/monthly-painting-competition.html
You have a wonderful style. Nice to meet you!
