Animal & Wildlife Challenge - January 2025

[JaneS]

Hi everyone. I thought we’d move away from winter this month to a continent where it’s currently high summer, so this month’s theme is “Animals and wildlife from Australasia.” You can choose from the images below, or find any reference you like that fits the theme.

This month’s photos are mostly from pexels.com. I’m looking forward to seeing your works of art. I hope you all have fun with the challenge.

Hello, and welcome to our monthly ANIMAL & WILDLIFE CHALLENGE.

On the first day of each month various photos and a reference subject will be provided,

Please choose from the photos or the reference subject provided or both to create an artwork in any medium. You can use the photos or reference subject to create any kind of artwork that you like.

Please use only the photos or the reference subject provided.

Please post your artwork starting on the 15th day of the month. (This is the 'Reveal’ Day.)

You can continue to post your artwork from the 15th until the end of the month.

Also, if you wish, please feel free to post any works in progress photos that you took while you were doing your artwork, and any comments about it.

Lovely references. I'll have to see if I can squeeze one in. Hoping life will be less busy as of the later half of January.

Great minds think alike Jane. (I also went with a warmer climate theme for the water media challenge this month.) You have chosen a nice group of pictures here. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.
