Stay at Home Challenge - week 2

My dear Creative friends,

I am so happy that a lot of you are participating in the challenge! Love all the messages I got from all over the world! Only two years ago, I very disliked social media and said I would never go on IG/FB and look at me now! I feel that I am connected to all you lovely people and it is a very special feeling, thank you for that!

I changed the Challenge a bit, I will post an image as colour inspiration once a week on Saturday (instead of every 3 days). I noticed that three days go so fast, even in total confinement! You can paint any subject in any medium you like, the picture just serves as a color inspiration!

For those who would like a subject to paint, I will add a picture of a subject as well, so you will have your color palette and your subject ready! I won’t always paint the chosen subject since I am still studying Abstracts and have my portrait collection ‘Sisterhood’ to finish, but I will paint in the colours of the week with you! You can of course paint the beautiful door too!

 

For this colour palette, I used Alizarin Crimson, Cobalt Teal, Titanium White, Titanium Buff, Asphaltum and Ivory Black. This is only my first layer so it might change completely!

Let’s use the hashtag #stayathomecreativechallenge to regroup all our paintings on Instagram, or if you are not on IG, post them in my Cold Wax Creative Community on Facebook (even if they are not in Cold wax!!)
