Weekend Art Challenge – Blue & Pink

Welcome to the results of the art challenge – Pink & Blue. Or Blue & Pink!

To say this was a popular challenge is an understatement. We are blown away by the response. All we can say is take your time to look through the amazing pieces of artwork below. They are all so beautiful and diverse and we cant thank our stud enough for posting them on our Facebook group or emaling them to us, so we can gather them here.

Our feature image today is by student Kate Amelia Haywood. Her delicate watercolour of a blue and pink floral wreath is stunning and we are sure you will all agree! Sit back – perhaps in a chair similar to the painting by Liz Collins below… and enjoy!

Colour is a power which directly influences the soul. It also reflects the importance of nature and its affect in our day to day life. Visualisation of nature through colour by a person reflect the inner strength of him or her.

My contribution to this week’s blue and pink art challenge. “Three tulips” in acrylics. I love dabbling with abstract work just to relax and experiment, this one ended up semi abstract. I started with brushes, but quickly switched to a pallet knife as I preferred the effect.

First try of blue and pink looked Orange with using bright pink when photographed so I had another try. That’s why the weekend challenges are great. I always learn some new from them.

This is my effort for The weekend challenge: Pink & Blue.
I have a sari that is beautiful shades of pink and blue. I chose part of the design which is that of a bird. I used watercolour pencils. For the bird I’ve used watercolour pencils dry and for the background I’ve used water to give a slightly blurred affect. It took me a little longer than expected due to the amount of detail in the middle.
Nina Phillips
My 80 style dancing queen in pink and her handsome sidekick in blue…just for fun! Done in coloured pencil!

I’ve had a digital play with one of my watercolour paintings of an Iris for this week’s challenge. I think it helps to bring out the blue hues in this beautiful flower which I photographed on a dismally grey rainy day, reminding me there is always beauty in nature, whatever the weather.
Sarah Egerton
A lovely choice of colours,  my favourites!  I have here a flamingo in blue water in pastel and pencil.

Colour challenge. I am working on a series of greetings cards appropriate to this lockdown in the uk especially as we can’t hug one another like usual getting through these tough times. When the challenge was announced I thought I would try one based on the Blue and pink theme and this is the result.
