Before Tracy left for vacation, we decided to have a Dare 2 Create challenge one evening. We hooked up the webcams, grabbed a blank canvas and a glass of wine each and decided to limit ourselves to just 3 colours from the Media Line: Pyrrole Red, Carbon Black and Titanium White (I would argue that this is a one colour challenge as black and white are officially not colours but hey!).
We give ourselves these challenges for a few reasons: 1) to push each other out of our comfort zones, 2) to learn and discover new techniques, 3) to de-stress, 4) because it's great fun, and 5) it's a damn good excuse to chat and have a glass (bottle) of wine together, even though we are over 5000 miles apart :).
Here are our finished 3 colour canvases:
I love Tracy's canvas and am claiming it for myself when we meet up again in Chicago for The Ministry of Mixology event. (Ministry is down to its last 4 places out of the 70, so if you want to come you better get in quick! We'd love you to join us for 2 days of painting and a whole lot of fun!)

Both projects are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour project is fabulous Andy and I would not be surprised if Tracy claimed that from you!! The highlighting on the flowers is wonderful. Tracy's project made me smile because it looks like she has sneaked a faint hint of a wine glass (or two) in the background, behind her gorgeous flowers! The folks in Chicago are in for a real treat... Anne x
ReplyDeleteLove both of these, they are so vibrant but have to say that yours has the edge Andy :-P. So please you said it was only one colour really as I didn't want to bring that up haha! hugs xxx
