MAY CONTEST: ISOLATION

[TessaW]

@JudeKillory Yay!

[Dana Eastes]

@Dana-Eastes I was really feeling it when I started this. I was thinking of my dad in his isolation, family can stand outside but no contact. He's not a hugger, but I can tell he really wants a hug from us.

@James-Toogood Wow, I really love this. The idea of using the reflection like that is terrific!

[Rachel Horne]

@James-Toogood this is really lovely

[JoshLewisArt]

Here is my entry for the contest. As you can tell I am not a big fan of this extended isolation, but the SVS classes have been a great outlet!

[JoshLewisArt]

@TheTarheelYankee I really struggled getting the file size down and now it’s super blurry and loses a ton of detail. Do you guys usually start with a smaller canvas size for these contests?

[sarahlash]

@TheTarheelYankee Doesn't look blurry to me!

[JoshSchouwstra]

[Heather Boyd]

@JudeKillory my isolation work is similar and in gouache too almost done. I like gouache a lot as well. You can be a traditional gouache buddy. lols

[Heather Boyd]

@James-Toogood oh it is really lovely -keep on sharing. I think you've got something good in style (even if it's just starting out) and story telling.

[Heather Boyd]

@JoshSchouwstra that's really good and happily unexpected. Right on. This contest is bringing out such wonderful ideas!!!

[JudeKillory]

@Heather-Boyd Yes! I just came into ownership of a bunch of acrylic through a friend of a friend and might have to cheat on gouache for a little bit.

@James-Toogood Wow! This touched my heart in a very real way!

[Melanie Ortins]

[James Toogood]

@korilynneillo Thanks, I'm really glad you like it.

[James Toogood]

@Heather-Boyd Thanks Heather, its taken a while but I think I'm starting to settle on a style.

[James Toogood]

@JoshuaDages Thank you, ive looked at entering before but not comeup with a concept im happy with in time.

[ArtofAleksey]

@JoshSchouwstra that poor minotaur i totally get this reference

[jdubz]

@Melanie-Ortins I really like how you textured the trees and bushes on this one. I always keep trying to do a more simplified style on that kind of stuff and it never looks right!
