Welcome to this weekend’s Art Challenge where the theme is Rainbows! We thought we would brighten your day by looking at colour and how rainbows are made, the colours within them and the transitions between each colour too.
In a traditional sense you could paint a sky and landscape with a beautiful rainbow, perhaps get in up close and paint a part of the rainbow within the sky.
If you preferred to create a more abstract rainbow scene, you could create a rainbow using wet in wet washy colours filling the paper. You could merge different brightly coloured inks together, experiment using objects to move them around the paper, like straws or splash them on the paper using a brush in rainbow coloured stripes.
Create something that is unique to you and your style of painting or drawing. We hope you enjoy this challenge and have fun!
The idea of these challenges is to help students improve their skills by drawing, painting and creating regularly.
So try to submit work that you have created specifically for the challenge – or course work you are currently creating for your art course. Sometimes our challenge themes cross over with what students are learning. Our challenges are great practive for your coursework too!
Remember to submit your artwork to us via email if you would like it posted on our blog next week.
Email your artwork to us for inclusion on the blog next week. We sometimes take challenge posts submitted to our Facebook group to add to the collection, however we may miss some, so if you really want to see your work here, make sure you email it to us!
