Making Art Every Day
The September 2025 art challenge by @bardotbrush with @lisabardotinvites participation in creating and sharing artwork. Artists will explore colors, techniques, and tutorials, fostering creativity together. The color palettes today were created by artist Ana Bianchi @analovescolor. I try to spend less than 30 minutes on these. Here are the prompts for two days:
September 10 Prompt Still Life
Still Life Cherries
For this illustration, I switched to Lisa’s Artist Pastel Brushes. In this still life of three cherries, I painted and smudged on the same layer for every color. The cherries were sitting on textured paper towels, so I attempted to add that as the background. Mmmm is all I can say.
September 11 Chocolate
Chocolate Mini-Bar
I switched back to the Midcentury Retro Brushes. You would not believe the many colors in this chocolate from deep red to light lavender and shades of deep browns of chocolate in between, just to get the texture, shadows, and chocolate tones.
