Day 1 of the February art challenge

Hey everyone!

Pamela and I decided that we want to challenge ourselves to complete a painting everyday for the month.

We're a day late but better late than never ;-)

Please join our challenge! You don't need to finish a painting everyday. There are no rules but to challenge yourself to paint more.

When you finish a painting send me the image, the title and the page you want it linked to. I'll post it here the same day. I'll create a new page for each day of the month.

We're looking forward to seeing what you've been inspired to paint! The trick to completing a painting a day is to keep it small.

Starting late? No worries . .so did we.

NOTE: Only hand painted or drawn works in any traditional medium will be accepted. Please keep the size of the file you send below 700 pixels wide or tall.

October good bye

We're sorry to announce that Shoot and Paint will be closing this month. Although we would love to continue, Pamela and I both have too much on our plates at this time.

We've been sharing your art for almost 3 years and it's been a lot of fun. Your submissions have been great and we will continue enjoying your work online! Thank you for the support!

If you would like to follow our work here are our websites.

Happy painting!

September Challenge

This month's painting challenge is to paint your art supplies. Those are my favorite supplies in the photo but I have yet to decide what to paint.
Have fun painting what's in front of you or get creative with it, but be sure to include your tools!

August Art Challenge

Wow it's August already!
I watched a video of a drawing exercise in values and  accuracy a while back.
Here's the idea: If you have an old pack of cards take one of them and rip it in two or more pieces. Lay it out and start drawing or painting.
I used an ace because of it's simplicity. Use any card from the deck (or use the image on the left). I almost chose the King but I didn't want to overwhelm myself.


This could open up many ideas . . .it did for me but they are yet to be painted.

July Art Challenge

 

Last month the process of plein air (painting outdoors) was suggested to us. We thought it was a great idea! So take your supplies with you and find a gorgeous spot to paint and enjoy the outdoors. Or grab you camera and take photos to bring home to the studio. Have a blast and we look forward to seeing your creations!

(Sorry we are a few days late)
