#029 Fill in with Color

Hi,

I'm so glad you've joined me for a WEEKLY summer art challenge. These will post on Monday mornings June 6 to July 11. We will focus on an aspect of the element of color. Color can be used by young and old, experienced and those new to the topic. I want you to look around your home and explore the outdoors to find subjects for your drawings and paintings. When we look at actual objects, we see more information than we can imagine! Use that information in your art. 

Your art materials can be dry, such as crayons, pastels, oil pastels, and colored pencils, or they can be wet, like watercolor pan sets, watercolor pencils, watercolor crayons, and acrylics.  Use the materials you have on hand. 

Enjoy Color Drawing and Painting!

YOUR COLOR CHALLENGE

Subject: Find your favorite animal. It could be alive, a stuffed toy, a plastic figure, or other three-dimensional object.

Your Challenge I: Find something that looks like your favorite animal. Your reference can be a stuffed animal, a photograph, a little statue, or your pet. Use COLOR Mixing to capture its colors to the best of your ability.

Challenge II: Use imagination by adding features that turn your animal into a mythical creature.
