Nice entries again. :clap:
Last time I saw a real mountain must be 35 years ago, it feels a bit odd painting them. :confused:
But when the portraits give me some space I'll surely try!!!

"Hi Guys, just spotted this discussion. If this painting is for the competition, you must paint the picture in the photograph. The colour scheme used is your choice. The composition must stay as true as possible to the photograph, otherwise it isn't the same picture. Minor changes will come about in each painting reflecting each individuals perception of the photo, but there has to be a limit somewhere, so moving/redesigning mountains is a definate no-no.Paint what you see."
Maybe she could sticky this at the top of challenge forum. It has really cleared it up for me. My pencil drawing is definitely not fulfilling that definition, but I'm going to finish as is and post it, but not as a challenge entrant. It is still a challenging learning experience for me, and a good exercise in composition. Fun too, except for getting lost in that woods so long. :2funny:

Sarah, you are not alone for we have all been lost in the woods at some point. However, we have wonderful friends to shout "Polo" and rescue us. :2funny: :2funny:

Nice suggestion Sarah. Why is it rules are so hard to remember? I have to keep going back time after time .. after I didn't pay close attention the first time :crazy2: .. and then I still go back..
(not just here.. generally speaking. I'm sort of one of those "If at first you don't succeed, try reading the directions." !!

Why is it rules are so hard to remember?
'cause we generally don't like rules! :2funny: :2funny: Most of us would rather not have any rules!!
Ogden Nash said: In the world of mules there are no rules Kinda think I agree with him! :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

Love the perfectly flat, shiny, icy cold lake. I don't know how you did that, but it makes me want to go get a sweater every time I look at it!! O0 O0

Here is my first attempt at doing the challenge. It was fun, but made me realize that I have a long way to go in learning how to handle watercolor. :)
Looks like you've come a long way already! Nice job :clap: :clap: :clap:
