Hi everyone. Have you done challenges with your painting practice?
It forces you to think & react differently from your
"normal" way of painting.
Recently I did this one with these strict parameters:
Finger painting - no brushes, no knives
Palette:
Yellow Ochre
Burnt Sienna
Cadmium Red Medium
Payne's Gray
Viridian
NO white (none showing from the canvas nor used)
Self Portrait
I chose to use a mirror to paint myself.
I covered the canvas with a layer of yellow ochre. Yes, just using my hands.
These were some of the color combo's using the palette.
This is the beginning 👆 ... i forgot to take any mid-way pics.

I would love to hear if you have tried
a challenge.
What were your parameters?
How did it go?
Stay safe and happy painting!
