I recently joined the ARTISTS JOURNAL WORKSHOP group on Facebook. Then, a few days ago I posted this photo of a little branch of crab apples from our tree in the garden.
I asked fellow painters in the group if they would be interested in giving it a shot. Then the plan would be to post all together today so we could see each other's work. I was pleasantly surprised at how many were excited about it and agreed to give it a try. My version is shown below - as they post their own versions - I'll check with them about adding their work to this blog post so you can see what they've done also.
And other interpretations from artists at the Artist's Journal Workshop . . .
Kate Abbe's crab apples - using watercolor pencils. Beautiful, Kate! |
Rosemary Connelly, of http://livecheapmakeart.com/, did this creative sketchbook watercolor of the crab apples!
Here is Gerda van Hummel's version - so pretty!
Vivi Toscano just shared her crab apple painting!
Wonderful, Vivi - thanks for taking part!
Jacqui Petersen - I love how loose it is Jacqui!
I'm always feeling like I have to complete every edge - this is so nice!
Barbara Cox's painting - great shading - is this watercolor pencil?
Valerie Weller - love the quote!
I'm going to end this post here, but,
Thank you so much for your participation everyone!
