Shirley Bond - "Cat on Chair"
Artist Shirley Bond
Medium Watercolor on watercolor paper 7" X 9"
A
difficult study. All the patterns were very difficult to do even though
I first did a small beginning sketch to try to figure the pattern out.
I loved the colors of the painting I found the bottom carpet to be
to overwhelming to the composition so I exchanged it for a cat on the chair.to try and center the composition.
After all in my house there always seems to be a cat on the chair!!Wednesday, January 15, 2014

Challenge 43 - Antique Rugs
As we begin the first challenge this year 2014, I would like to once again wish all of us a very very Happy New Year!
Each of the beautiful paintings in the last challenge was such a visual delight. For PADT visitors and artists it was as if each day in the holiday season brought a new gift - the unmatched pleasure of seeing a wonderful new painting!
I hope this year brings many new exciting opportunities for all of us to do what we love so much - paint and draw and explore new horizons in art.
Thank You!!
About the composition
I visited a friend of mine, such a gorgeous human being, and very dedicated admirer and antique rugs collector. Needless to say how many still life compositions crossed my mind as soon as I saw this breathtaking display of antique tapestries and rugs. I listened to many wonderful history lessons and stories about people crossing the continents & deserts, with one of the rugs you see here displayed, being old 134 years.
In my personal opinion, this is the most complex challenge I posted so far on PADT. I hope you will collect your artistic courage and give it a chance to surprise you.
--------------------------
Please send your paintings by February 16. The next challenge will be posted on Feb 17, 2014.

Jenni Twidle
12"x 8"
coloured pencil and pastel on black Canford paper
Artist comments - I
had very great difficulty photographing this. The paper was not really
suitable for coloured pencil because it would not take many layers. I
ended up embellishing it with pastels!

Technique: First off I want to tell you all what a great job you did,

back to white was tough. I did the rose mostly in watercolor white
pencil will a little yellow and pinks. But object is to finish and
learn something and that I did, just squeaking in under the wire. Happy

Difficult to paint to get the black background dark enough but I did mask the outline of the rose and the brighter area of the wine glass before painting the background.

Renate Arends - "Romantiek (Romance)"
- Naam schilderij: Romantiek (Romance)
- Artist: Renate Arends
- Size: 24 x 30cm.
- Medium & Support: Watercolor and gouache on aqua board
- Artist Blog: www.renatearends.

* Painting Process:
After I made the sketch with pencil I have made the part that had to be blackened, black, with the exception of the glass and the leg of the glass. I gave the glass itself and the leg of the glass a watery layer black with cutouts for the pieces here and there where the glass was shiny.
Where needed I took the paint away with a clean damp brush so that a dull white showed.. This was also the time I painted in the wine. After this, I painted the brown section containing the white shadow (in the middle) and the black shadow (right).
After this I colored the rose, petal after petal. I had difficulties with finding the right color. No yellow, no pink. Ultimately, it is a mix of white gouache with orange watercolor paint. After the Rose was finished I put the details in the glass. Finally I gave the black and Brown sections a last layer so that small smudges and spots were no longer visible.

Challenge 42 - Wine & Rose
Thank you so much for your participation in the Challenge 41 - Water Lily.
The flowers in the water pond are from a visit to one of my most favorite places - the "Royal Botanical Gardens" in Burlington which is a city near Toronto where I live. I visited the gardens numerous times to spend time with "my" rose bushes, Irises and of course the Water Lilies.
I think every painting in this last challenge was a true beauty. While some paintings caught the reflections in the water, the other paintings caught the light in the composition and yet the other paintings were special in the painterly and creative way the artists approached the composition. Perhaps we can call this little challenge our tribute to Monet!
--------------------------
About the composition:
The main challenge in this composition is to create the impression of a sparkling wine glass disappearing in the background. The glass is identifiable in the photograph as a glass only by the reflections of the surrounding objects - such as the reflection of the window - on the glass.
The white rose is not really white. It is full of many colors and the challenge is to catch the softness of the creamy petals which blend gently and melt into the background - creating contrast and harmony with the predominantly dark remaining part of the composition.
--------------------------
Please send your paintings by January 05. The next challenge will be posted on Jan 06, 2014.

- Medium & Support: watercolor on 300 watercolor paper

- Painting Technique : I sketched the outline of the lily and then filled in the background but found trying to get the shimmer of the water very difficult.
- I also found trying to get a bright color tone difficult for the lily- it was either too pink or too red.
- This looked like an easy study but it was not.

- Painting Process: I started with the water lily and the reflections. Then I painted the water. I thought it would be easy but it was so difficult. In particular the water took me quite a long time. Because of the Yupo the colors ran into each other whereby the shade didn't come out well. It was a very good exercise!
