Fruit Of The Vine-Grapes Still Life

Close ups

Oil on 6x6 canvas pad. Divided into 4 3x3 squares.

This is my contribution to this week's DPW's The Ten Minute Challenge - Again posted by Carol Marine .

The rules: Get a timer. Divide your canvas (I used a 6x6in piece of canvas pad) into small squares (or rectangles). They should be smallish - a couple or 3 inches square or thereabouts. Set your timer for 10 minutes. Paint your object in the first square. When the timer goes off - stop! Repeat until you are done. You can rotate your object and/or change the light for each new square.
paint just shapes and colors and values. Paint what you see- not what you THINK you see.

This is the second time they've ran this challenge. But it is very worth while and really should be repeated on your own many times!

  7. Une manière d'aller à l'essentiel dans l'instant présent...
    Belle réussite en ce qui vous concerne.
    L'oeil s'habitue... N'a-t-on pas tendance à vouloir reproduire ce qu'on a déjà réalisé ?
    Gros bisous

  9. Angela...I agree...these challenges ARE great!
    Sometimes they almost push me to the limit where I'm tempted not to participate. But, then I do the challenge and almost always learn something from it!
