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.

September Challenges
I really enjoyed this challenge from Paint and Draw Together. The subject was Old Door, I felt it was very Provencal. I painted it in watercolours, so reminiscent of doors in that area.
The sweets were from the Rookie Challenge. I chose to use crayons for a change as I had never used them before, not best pleased but it's good to try something different.
The painting of a Parisienne Waitress was for A Day Not Wasted, a great subject very much enjoyed and back to oils.

ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, my friend! :o)
Hello Sylvia, I wanted to make a comment on the painting of your dogs, but I couldn't find it here. Each time I look to that painting I thought what a nice group. So it is a good paint if you can make a feeling on somebody. Real good!!
