This is the monthly challenge not the sketch a day challenge. I’m setting up early but would ask that you don’t start till after the first of the month.
It’s a double challenge, so I will explain them separately
A/ Choose a paint from your favourite artist and paint it in your own style .
B/ Do your own painting in the style of a favourite artist.
It can be in any medium, abstract, landscape, portrait, mixed media the world of artistic expression is yours to interpret as you want .
My only request is that it remains within the boundaries of decency , and is not offensive so no one should feel uncomfortable.
The most important thing is to join in and enjoy your time, come on the more the merrier as they say . Be nice to see some abstract and still life work as we don’t get a great deal of them .
( Now I’ve to decide who my favourite artist is that I can reasonably replicate their style .

On reflection I do remember doing something like this , rather than remove it I will add a third part for those who want something different.
Part C paint anything in a style you are uncomfortable with and a medium you don’t like normally use , not that’s a challenge for the brave .
I’m putting my neck on the chopping block and stating that I will do a portrait in acrylic, I’m very uncomfortable with portraits and have only use acrylic once and didn’t like it one bit .

That's hilarious Paul. I shall look forward to that portrait lol
Thank you for keeping the original challenge. I thought it a really good challenge and it will be my first art challenge anywhere. I said to Sylvia I would take a month to get to know the site and start to take part in the challenges in June. I might not do part three though. I've passed on all mediums I never reached for. But if I do it will be in the coloured pencils I've kept in colours I never use. More pondering lol

Just to start this off…..a favourite artist of mine inspired me to do this painting…all I’ll say is that it’s the stance of the subject which is similar and a slight air of mystery. It’s my grandson but that is irrelevant. I’ll be surprised if anyone guesses the artist and the painting…good luck! I’ll post my version of the artist’s painting later.
