Hello dear friend and welcome back to Weekend Challenges!

Volume 4 

Dear artists,

We took a break from Weekend Challenges, and now we are back with more ideas and new guest teachers!

This time around we will do 4 week run, each weekend sending free new tutorials and references from out winners from reference competition.

 These should not take a lot of your time. Art project doesn’t have to take all day long, consistency in showing up – that’s what counts. And even if you only put in 20 minutes – you have completed your weekend challenge! Go ahead and show it in our FB group, we are excited to see what you create!

If you have a friends who might like to practice with us – feel free to invite them to our FB group, the more – the merrier.

Please follow Art Challenges on Instagram, tag and hushtag #WeekendArtChallenges to be featured on our Instagram. It’s fun!

Oh, and now we also have a FB page – please give us thumbs up ( like our page) if you feel like it 🙂

*** Please do NOT share the link to our classroom .  The classroom is available for our VIP members only.

Thank you <3

Week 1 (V1) with Olga Furman 

Vintage stunning lady 002 by MementoMori-stock.deviantart.com on @deviantART

Art supplies used:

Strathmore  Charcoal paper laid finish, 300 series.

It is a fancy warm white paper with a lovely texture and suites for a finished artwork. For exercise purpose I would suggest to use Newsprint, which is texture and color wise is a great paper for charcoal, and it is very affordable.

Conte crayons, charcoal stick and pencil
Tortillon/Stump for blending, kneaded eraser, piece of cotton cloth, paper towel

Week 2 (V.3)  with Olga Furman

Perseverance is what important in art practice. If you have only 10 minutes then finish just as much as you can. As you can see I could complete only half of the face in time I had, but I like the mystery too, and it felt right to leave it as is. If you have more time on hand or you are a faster painter please feel free to draw/paint the whole face.
