Let's try this again. My thought is that we can have a challenge inspired by the Critique Club meeting each month. What I'm left with after today's meeting is a curiosity to hear more about Stephanie's dark, back, Fire Woods and the experience of making that pastel painting of them! The Challenge should you choose to accept: Post a painting to the community feed that was a profound experience to create and tell us the story.

A new project for us! Brainstormed by the community. Do you have a half done painting you've lost steam on, or are stuck with in some way? Wonderful!! We will trade paintings and complete each other's work. Providing challenges, new perspectives and solutions... and who knows what else we will learn!? I have marked the calendar to have this project commence Nov. 13th (You will provide your photo and reference if applicable by this date). We will each print up another painter's work and complete it on top of the printout. I'm thinking we could seal the paper with clear gesso, or put it in a plastic sheet protector, or affix it to a panel and seal it... I'm sure you have ideas too. The project will culminate Dec.13th in a live zoom where we examine all of our efforts in completing our peers' works. Does this timeframe sound good to you all? How to participate: 1. Find a half finished painting you are stuck on or which you've lost steam on. 2. Take a good quality photo of this painting and crop it so we only see the painting. 3. Add that photo (and reference material if applicable) in the comments here. 4. I will assign paintings to you on Nov. 13th. (I'm thinking Secret Santa style) 5. Attend the live zoom Dec. 13th with your completed trade. 6. Thanks Robyn for sparking this fun idea! This is one of many paintings I lost steam on.
