Challenge #4 - a fun one!


Dear Readers,

Our challenge #4 parameters:

1. Round canvas (integrated round shape)
2. Jackson Pollock drip painting abstract
* Any palette *
3. Stay an arm's length away from painting your still life or landscape

(remember you can click on any of these photos to enlarge) 






The picture above was taken either by my brother or my cousin 
who were both interested in photography
at the time (1971-72?).

I had already done a studio painting from it.





My first thought was to use a magnifying glass
 to warp the image.

sketch through magnifying glass,
my eyes went a little wonky after that





My round canvas was a Masonite panel that Matt cut for me.
You can see how big it is here - 22 5/8" diameter.




To set it up on my easel, Matt also made a "sub-cradle"




I had to make a sign!


Below are Patrick and Timi's paintings.

Ink, acrylic & oil on Masonite
22 5/8 inches diameter



Ok, so that was our Challenge #4, that we began around December 2021.
Thanks for checking it out and be sure to check back to my Studio Journal for more
in-depth notes about our other challenges, and miscellaneous offerings.

Happy Painting!
