May Artist Challenge

No May Artist from me today (although I do have another Not Safely Dead artist to study on Friday). Today I wanted to challenge you guys to do what I'm doing -- not three artists a week for a month, but something a bit more manageable.

Here's the challenge:

  • Find one artist you admire. Safely Dead is easiest, but Not Safely Dead is fine as long as you secure permission from them to feature their work on your blog.
  • Identify their strengths and the tricks and techniques you'd like to use in your painting
  • Blog about it on Monday, May 19th
  • Comment on this blog post with a link to your post.
I'll do a wrap up post with all the links and hopefully we'll get quite a few so we can learn a ton on Monday.

I hope to see you guys in the comments!

Considering I'm a mere muggle, I'll join in on Monday, May 19th with the final installment to my Joseph Wright of Derby study session.

I thought I was late to the party but I will do my best to join in on Monday 19th. I'll come back and leave a comment if I manage it so you don't end up looking in vain.

ps. on my blog, I've started calling the "Not Safely Dead Artists" the "Dangerously Alive Artists" kind has a nice ring to it, I think.

I updated my post so now the link in my previous comment doesn't work. :( This is the correct link.
