Chore Day, May 7, 2022, with a still life
/All the normal chores: vacuuming and doing the week’s laundry. After breakfast (a chocolate+banana+wild blueberry smoothie), I practiced painting for the first time in month’s. Behold my opal apple.
Al Fresco Art Club, Feb 20 -- Still Life
/Today’s Alfresco Art Club challenge was to do a digital painting. I started my project with the iPad and Artrage, but eventually became frustrated. I moved to my desktop computer and used Clip Studio Paint. To paint this lemon. I used the default watercolor and gouache brushes.
Weekly Al Fresco Art Club Artrage Challenge
/This week the Al Fresco Art Club did not paint in the great outdoors — we stayed in the studio. We decided, the two of us, that we would try out hand at doing a still life of things lying around the house, such as a bottle of wine we use as a door stop, a bottle of olive oil, and a small tomato. The real challenge was to use Artrage to make the painting. To keep it interesting, we had several restrictions: 1) Use only one layer; 2) No using Undo; 3) No using erasers. In other words, we were challenged to adhere to the same restrictions we would face if we were using real paint and a canvas.
Here’s my effort.
