"Copy Another Artist's Painting Challenge"
The painting challenge I presented to my Intermediate Students, as an educational learning experience, was to copy another artist's painting. Much can be learned by copying brushstroke by brushstroke from a painting....observation, brush control, color mixing etc.  I remember my days of copying a master's painting when I was getting my art degree.

Each student understands that this challenge is for their education...and that they can never sign their name, show or sale this challenge painting....but, they can enjoy...as you will.

Below are their "Copy Another Artist's Painting Challenge" masterpieces.

Hi...again the Intermediate Class has faced a photo challenge. Even though there aren't many paintings represented...the quality is superior. 

They had a choice of a Seascape Photo to work from or they could work from an actual Still Life that I set up. 

Thank you Painters.
 Enjoy.

Hi...I'm on Spring Break..finals are graded and posted. I had a great academic watercolor 1 class and as always, my Intermediate group was great.

We are having cold weather, but the sun is out and I have hopes to get a lot done these next few weeks before Spring Term starts. Maybe a little painting, house repair, yard work...oh, it doesn't end !!!

Challenge:

Again, the Intermediate Art Class had a challenge photo to work from. Liz, donated her photo she took while in Puerto Rico. It was a great reference with so many ways it could be interpreted.  Enjoy.

I didn't get one painted....maybe during Spring Break !!??
