A blank canvas

I think it's time we had some new challenges so here is one:)

I have given you a blank canvas all set up on an easel what will you create on it? Have fun!

A good idea, Frances.

Not totally original but I've been doing a Wallpaper for my Desktop.

Sorry Amgelize, I just coudln`t resist this one. ;)

Great idea, Frances! :thx

Waiting for the Gesso to dry. ;))

Great submissions all of you!

Rik that's a great blending of the Apple and Windows logos!
Anchor that's cool!
Frank, very clever
Bill, so what are you going to put on there after the Gesso dries? ;))

Frances that is yet to be determined. ;)

Inspiration does not always cooperate with one's plans. :D

I'd love to see some newer members take part in this challenge! This is just for a bit of fun, no need to worry if you think your artwork won't compare. Just join in and have some fun! When I first started using Xara and first began taking part on TG the challenges were for me a great way to explore things that I might not otherwise have tried. Of course some of you experts out there are most welcome too!

It was the smile :D

now what else would I be doing? .. switched to a heavier canvas though as I like a bit of tooth :)

er, .. and in the process lost the easel, darn I know I had it just a minute a go.... :o

@Drwyd: that was one I was not expecting! ;)) You made me look pretty good as the Mona Lisa!

@ Steve: Nice to see some of your cartoon critters! I think you broke the easel as part of it is still stuck to the canvas! When you find the rest you are gonna need some glue! ;))

Hello Frances,

Thanks

I rather like the idea, but already am off on the wrong foot.

For my next picture, the inside of the doghouse. ;)

Peace

I love the paint drips James. Surprisingly enough I have been working on a similar idea. I was trying to do a still life for this challenge but I still don't have it finished, so instead I went with another plan but my paint drips aren't as good as the ones James did.

dang, left it out in the rain.... :eek:
[need to click on it really to see the effect :'(]

;)) great work guys! Steve that water drip effect looks really good, liquid colour?

thanks - liquid colour for distorting the lineart - and a 'bulge effect' for the 'smear' ;)

Hello Larry

Thanks, but I can't take full credit for the drops, they were a plug-in. At least yours were original. ;)

Fun idea... a blank canvas just begs for something to be painted thereupon... I tend to like the whimsical ideas best.

Peace

James

I love the creative ideas we are seeing in this thread, keep em coming!

Ok I thought it was time I did one of these my self but I ripped my canvas ;)) You'll have to wait til I find another!

Cute idea Frances. Be more careful next time.

A self-portrait ?

Attachment 87079

Good one Guy. I hope that is a self portrait of you painting a flower, and not a self portrait of you painting a self portrait. ;))
