[waheed nasir]

hello there guys....

here i bring u the 41st Speed Painting Challenge, starts today and ends on the 16th of March, Thursday.

topic: "Still life". lets have something arty this time, something close to tradional art.... but with speed. a lot can be painted, like, from a single object to a more complicated composition, having a number of objects. all upto u. it can be anything like, fruit on a table, weapons, your drawing/painting tools, boots, vase of flowers, u name it. what matters is the compositon and the use of colors.... just looks around yourself and ull find a lot to paint that would suit this topic perfectly....

u can post your artwork till the 16th of March. after that, voting starts.

all the best to everyone...cheers....

Hey All,

Hey Warin...Welcome!

Waheed: Very nice topic....It's been years since I've done a still life picture.....I wasn't very good at it then and going by what I've done so far for this, I'm still not very good but I'm gonna give it my best attempt! Maybe I'll surprise myself
I really like your picture a lot - Fantastic style, composition & excellent use of colour.
I have GOT TO give Artrage a try (though I'm sure talent helps)

-t3d-: Your first entry: Overall it's pretty good but I feel the perspective is a bit off. Also you have two different styles in the picture which don't quite fit together....ie...the bottles and glass are sort of a scribbled style but then you have very sharp lines too....the edges of the table and the glass mainly. A few more scribbles/brush strokes to cover the sharp edges and add more texture to the table would fix this right up imo. I remember from a past post of yours, though, you are like me with spending a very long time on a pic - (I can't seem to just throw down some colours in a short time....I need to spend manys the hour to be satisfied with the result). Since you managed to get this result from 2 hours, it's a damn fine attempt.
Well done
I quite like you second entry - Fairly simple and the shading is nice. Tell me you didn't draw each and every spike yourself!? If it's any help...(& you may know this) but you can create your own custom brushes easily enough in Photoshop - just might speed things up even more for for you in future pics.

Artecnl: I'm impressed I gotta say....I can't believe you've painted that with a mouse - NICE JOB! Excellent composition & colour and I love the reflection.
