| "Leslie's Rose" 5x7 oil on panel |
First, I want to thank Leslie again for hosting the challenge thus my painting title today. I know many of you also enjoy the AHA show as I do. And if you do, you know Leslie and her co-hosts are always promoting giving back to the art community.
So in the spirit of AHA, I’m going to give away this rose (does that sound like something they say on The Bachelor??) to an artist who posts today in the challenge. (At the end of the day, I’ll go to random.org and draw a number.) I'll announce the winner tomorrow!
My quick tip today: I think pinks (like some greens) can be a tricky color range. I like to try to look for and really push the whole range from warms and cools—so from almost peachy into the cooler lavenders. Find this can help whatever the subject read pinkish, but not too pink.
So good luck, post your painting today join the challenge (it’s not too late) and enjoy your painting time today!
The colors are fantastic! :D

Good advice to beginners and seasoned artists. As an artist who has been a student all her life, this is a jewel, both the advice and the rose. Trying to paint an ellipse today just stressed me out to no end, but I went ahead and posted my effort. Love all your work.
