Monthly Art Prompts - May 2023

[brokequixote]

You've got me interested in this type of photography - I'm going to google pin hole photos. The yellow tire, really nice work!

Sorry, in a dark mood. Thank you, CaliAnn for the prompts. Nice selection to choose from.

Wow, brokequixote, I love your zoo interpretation, plus, you nailed yellow at the same time! Looks like maybe you used Conte sticks?


Thanks! Yeah, crazy pursuit though it is, there's no lack of info out there Getting the pinhole size matched to the distance to the film is something that I never get quite right, hence the blurry photo. Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day was just a couple of weeks ago; check out their galleries to see a great variety of examples of what can be done without a lens.

Yes, Conte sticks on postal wrap. The pin hole photography is a whole new world to me. Thanks for posting that photo. There's something about it that's magical.

Lively sketches, Joe.

JennieJo, good painting for yellow. I like your choice for bliss too. A variety of paintings but all express the emotion.

Lamar, I like your yellow tire. An interesting choice for the prompt.

Here's mine for yellow. Pen and ink in XL Mix Media sketchbook.

Ha, this made me laugh. May not have been the idea but after Anne's yellow flowers it was an abrupt change.

I did a pastel sketch for the Scavenger Hunts and it sort of fits here for yellow. Pastel sketch on Pastelbord.

This is great. We don't have a zoo near here and we don't have animals but I love your sketches.

 

[CaliAnn]

Jo: Always enjoy your pastel paintings - this is no exception. Beautiful work

Fabulous pinhole, Lamar! I happen to like the softness from pinhole photography. It's not a method I've played with much, but I always love looking at the work of others. Yay!

Joe, nice sketches.

Jo, I love your pastel sketch. Wonderful colors and shine on the strainer and cup. Your yellow flowers are the star of the show.

Alabama, colorful, eyecatching works.

I enjoy drawing and painting flowers, so this is my "bliss."

Beautiful Anne!

 

[Terri]

This is so delicate and lovely, Anne - I feel your bliss just looking at it!

I happen to like the softness from pinhole photography.

Thanks so much, Terri! And speaking of softness, I intend to try zoneplate - another lensless technique - photography one of these days. I've been lazy on the photography front these days :-(
