 that you experienced then please do. This is the only information that is put next to your picture on the site.
I will try and get all the pictures and your new painting challenge onto the site by the end of the first week of each month.

This month its............A sailing we will go.


Draw and paint it this picture as it is here or compose your own ...........it's up to you.

Here is a fun way of composing a picture.

As a lot of you will probably know, I do like to make pictures up rather than just copying from a photo, and
a part of that process for me is to do quite a few drawings of the subject I am thinking of, from different
 angles and then playing with where to put it (or them) in my picture to make a good composition.
Play with planning your picture out on a cheap piece of paper that is the same size of your planned finished work.
( Don't use your best cold pressed painting paper when doing this.)
In the case of the picture above I found a few basic sail boat shapes as shown below that you could use.
First draw in the background..........Horizon line, cliffs and anything else you might think of adding.
You could then draw some boat shapes on yet another piece of paper, cut them out and move them around on your background until they look good enough to paint.
Equally spaced objects such as boats would look too contrived to look like a real scenario.
 Once happy with the composition, you can then draw your picture onto your cold pressed paper and start painting.
When initially drawing your boats to play about with, pay attention to the size you draw them in relation
 to how close you think you might want them in your picture.
