This weekend’s challenge was simple: draw or paint something orange. No strict rules, just pick a subject where orange takes centre stage.
We had a fantastic mix of entries this week. From vibrant flowers and fruit to goldfish, cats and even a sweet little fox, every piece brought something different to the table. Some students leaned into strong colour and contrast, while others kept things softer and more natural. It just goes to show how versatile a single colour can be in a creative brief.
A big thank you to everyone who took part. We really enjoy seeing how each of you interprets the theme in your own way. A brand new challenge will be posted tomorrow, do join us!
I just love this particular kind of goldfish. My dad used to have two goldfish of this kind, one golden and one black one for quite some time and I loved watching them and their gracious movements. So serene. Nature is so amazing! KathrinThe gazania – drawn whilst on holiday in my little nature journalling sketchbook in coloured pencil and Staedler fineliner pen.
