It's A Wash & October Moses Botkin Challenge

The Moses Botkin Challenges are always a challenge and usually a delight once you jump in and start painting. The Challenge for October was chosen by Robin Cheers. Each artist was given the same gray scale photo and we were to paint it in color. The challenge was to get the correct values. If you have a good composition and your values are correct you can paint in any color scheme you want and the painting will work. So we all went to work for, "A Painting Day". Scroll down to see the other challenge paintings.

Pink Piglet & Diana Moses Botkin Challenge

Today is special due to the fact it is my first post for the Moses Botkin Challenge. There are 6 artists that participate in the challenge. The January Challenge was chosen by Sharman Owings to paint something that starts with the letters "p i". I gave that a bit of thought and came up with Pink Piglet. I hope you like this little piglet portrait. She was a lot of fun to paint. You will find paintings from the other Challenge members below. Taking on the Challenge made for, "A Painting Day".
