Week 1 - Painting Around Our Name

The challenge this week was to do anything we wanted as long as our name was part of the painting. I got carried away and did three paintings.

The first I just sat on my lounge and doodled my name. Started using a pencil and found I kept rubbing it out as it wasn't "right" so I grabbed my black marker and without thinking just doodled. Then I used my water colour crayons and coloured in the doodles. Quite enjoyed doing this piece as I didn't think too much.



The second I decided to use straight lines and paint with acrylic paint between the lines. Didn't enjoy this one as I didn't like painting between the lines - found it too structured and rigid. It looks rather messy as I was rushing to finish.



The third was in acrylic. Tried not to think too much, just wanted the colours to flow.



Quite enjoyed this challenge as I didn't have to think too much, it was just to get us started.

Second Part of Challenge - Finger Painting

Part of our first week challenge was to explore finger painting - only use the fingers to push the paint around. Quite messy and fun to do and a good way to feel the paint, let loose and just enjoy without any thought to what are you creating - it doesn't matter. Not too certain what the blue blob means?
