Photo Challenge/February 2013

[julesststudio]

Please join us in our January PHOTO CHALLENGE!

  This photo was taken by a good friend Theo Naude who is a professional photographer in South Africa, he has given me permission to use his work. This was a little lizard that was living in his garden.

The idea is simple: everyone paints, draws, collages, or arts in any way from the same photo. Let us see the world through your eyes.

It is up to you how you interpret this photo. We always think it's great fun to see different views of the same subject!

The favorite interpretation of the photo (by member voting) will be featured in the group's home page for a month.

Please post your completed ACEO pieces in this thread anytime within the "Time Frame" below.


You may enter as many ACEOs as you wish, but they must all be interpretations of the same photo. They do not have to be listed on eBay to be eligible.

Time Frame - this activity runs from February follows:

1)  From 2/15/08 to 2/22/13 at midnight eBay time: post your entries in this thread. All you need to enter is to post your ACEO here within this time frame. Any entries posted outside this time frame will net be eligible - no exceptions!

2)  2/23/13 - Polls go up for voting.  Voting ends at midnight 2/27/13

3)  2/28/13 - The winner is announced and the winning interpretation is posted on our home page.

Let's see how much participation we can have... What medium do you use? How creative can you be? Show us!

Any questions, please ask in this thread…
Have fun!

P.S. If you have images you want to donate for future photo challenges, please post them in this thread: http://groups.ebay.com/topic/Aceo-Art-Cards/Announcementstheme-Weeks-Contests/Photos-Wanted-Photo/16... (you must be the author or hold the copyrights and agree to have other members use it for inspiration, even if it is not selected for the photo challenge).

hi Jules!  This would be my very first time, ever doing this.  I'm still trying to figure out, my way around in the forum, 🙂  I would LOVE to enter into a photo challenge, but don't quite know all the rules for it.  Does it have to be a painting, done on an ACEO card?  Or can it be a photo, I have taken, & sized to an ACEO measurement?  I actually have an ACEO watercolor painting I just finished, & would love to enter that.  It is actually from a photo, that I snapped,  in my own backyard!  Waited a year for these birds to return! Trying to figure out, how to attach photo.  Oh,  I have no listings on right now.  Just received my new scanner, so I can scan quality photos, of my art.

I hate to be the first one to post, but here it goes.  This photo was so much fun to work with; I couldn't stop with just one painting.  The first one is more serious while the second one is purely whimsical.

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else has created.:-)

Here's my Photo Challenge entry.  I also enjoyed this subject so much I'm planning to do a series in different medium...I did this with ink and watercolor.

"Camo Lizard"

Here is my entry.  I call him "Draco-meleon".  This is my first painting done on Ampersand museum board and I am in love! 😉 You may not be able to see in the pic, but I used glitter paint on the wings and flowers.  I love this little guy!!  Great Pic!!!

[julesststudio]

Oh wow everyone has such great looking lizards.. This is going to be a hard month to decide.

Great work, everyone!  This is so much fun.

Yes, my work is primarily in watercolors--Occasionally colored pencils and ink.

Here is my entry for the photo challenge.  The title is "The Lady and Her Pet - Out for a Stroll".  The zentangle in the background was done with Micron Pigma Pens and the fairy, chameleon and flora was done with gouache (opaque watercolor) on Canson 140# cold-pressed watercolor paper.  I loved the photo this month.  He was such a personable little dude!  It is also listed.  Just click on my listings to view it.  The listing has a much better and clearer pic of it.  I don't know why attached files always look so blurry here..... grrr....
