shoot and paint art challenge: February 2013
http://shootandpaint.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
February 1, 2013. Wow it's already been a month since our last challenge. Pamela took this photo a while back and we decided to give it a go. She uses these plastic masks with her students for projects with plaster. She applies vaseline to keep the plaster from sticking so that they can be reused. She brought them home to wash and as they were drying she realized what a great photo it would make. I had to agree! Lori McNee has some excellent tips on painting whites at this link.

July 3, 2013. Last month the process of plein air (painting outdoors) was suggested to us. We thought it was a great idea!

shoot and paint art challenge: March 2013
http://shootandpaint.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
March 1, 2013. Spring will be here soon in New England! The weather may not be much of an indicator but business marketing is. My husband gave me a surprise bouquet of flowers yesterday only because they had them in the drug store of all places. It still made me smile! The petunias are the photo from my garden last spring. Your challenge this month:. Paint your favorite spring bloom or use our photo. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Join us for the February daily painting challenge! And Pamela White Murphy.

shoot and paint art challenge: April 2013
http://shootandpaint.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
April 1, 2013. This month's challenge is to paint glass. It can be a drinking glass, a vase, a window. Painting the reflection in glass can be quite a challenge if you try to capture every detail (not that there's anything wrong with being challenged). I find it's always best to focus on the shapes. Move your glass around in the light to get the reflections that appeal to you. If there's too much going on in the way of reflection's try placing your glass in front of a solid background. Happy painting!

shoot and paint art challenge: August 2012
http://shootandpaint.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
August 1, 2012. Pheew . . where did the time go? We thought it might be fun to paint self portraits this month. Every artist at some point in their lifetime, usually more than once, paints a self portrait. Your challenge is to paint yourself within 30 minutes. In other words keep it really simple and get the essence of your likeness. You can sit in the front of the mirror or grab a photo but do not over think or overwork your painting. Have fun and we can't wait to "see" you! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://shootandpaint.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
September 1, 2012. This month challenge is a value practice. Values are key in a successful painting. It's very important to really look at the reference so as not to miss an important edge or shadow. You may use our photo or set up your own still life to work from. As always have fun! We are looking forward to your interpretations. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Join us for the February daily painting challenge! Day 1 of the February art challenge. And Pamela White Murphy.

July 1, 2012. Pamela and a couple of her students thought the American flag would be a good challenge for the month of July. Apparently a couple of the girls have already started on it. Send your images in! The photo was taken in the domed entry to the Boston Harbor Hotel on Rowes Wharf in downtown Boston. As always we are looking forward to your interpretations!

shoot and paint art challenge: January 2013
http://shootandpaint.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
January 1, 2013. We thought we'd start off our 2013 art challenges with a traditional subject. From what I understand apples have been the most used fruit in still life painting for centuries. Your challenge is to set up a still life of your own. It's fun and good practice in composition. If you don't have an apple on hand any other fruit will do. As always you can use our photo if you prefer. Have fun and we hope to see your work soon! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Day 1 of the February art challenge.
