@Leontine Challenged me in another thread to create a winter scene using mostly blue with one complimentary color.
So I'm challenging @Leontine and anyone else in the forums to do the same. This will be fun and challenging assignment. No prizes or money will exchange hands : ). Just a good ole fashion challenge that might end up in your porfolio!
@Rob-Smith OOOWWW I love it! Thanks! I'll blow you away!
That is a great challenge! If I can manage to fit it in, I'll take part...
I am definitely going to try and participate in this one - I love winter scenes and I could also use the color limitations to learn from. Any proposed deadline on when we need to have a piece ready by?
@Dulcie, @Rich-Green please do! Deadline? Good question. no idea, lets say before xmas? XD I ve already started sketching. Think about my country, The Netherlands. Its very small, and we don't have mountains. we do have snow, Iceskating (where the best), nice houses, windmills and canals. I try and make an illustration that will give you the dutch winterfeeling....
@Leontine Christmas will be a good deadline 
I've been thinking about this and I've got an idea for it, hopefully it will work...
Lovely picture! I visited Amsterdam a long time ago (school art trip), it was very nice
Challenge accepted! Sounds fun!!
@Rob-Smith maybe you can change the topic name to 'Winter challenge' ? Everybody wants to join in!
We may be worn out with winter scenes if you want to participate in this challenge and December's 3rd Thursday challenge which will have to do with Santa's alternative transportation.
Fun! Do you want us to post finished pieces here?
@Kasey-Snow I think we should post finished works in this thread. Thanks!
@seanwelty This is the warming up for the SVScontest! Don't push yourself to hard, but join in the fun if you want to...
that's a fun idea not time to play the game but I will follow your progress !
Hi @Rob-Smith Here's my entry for the winterchallenge. Hope you like it! I have several other idea's but so busy with other projects... for for now this is it I think. thanks 
@Leontine Great image!! I like the simplicity of the background yet it reads clearly. A little hat for the bird...very cool. I'm going to have to work harder!! : ).
I have mine in the works. It will be all digital.
This looks like so much fun--thanks, @Rob-Smith!
@Leontine Your entry is super cute, and I like the composition. 
I'm not very experienced with colour yet, so I'd love to try a limited color palate. Will try to enter for sure!
@K.-W. Thank you!
@Leontine Very lovely! It love the concept and the rendering! What a great way to start the challenge!
Okay all and @Leontine here is my challenge piece. Comments and critiques are very welcome. Working digitally has been a steep learning curve.
Changes made to the original image based on suggestions by @seanwelty(ice made more subtle), @Leontine(warmth added) and @lonelycatpress(darkened a few areas to improve contrast)
I'm in, I'll do this tomorrow morning for my warm up. I need to step away from my 3T piece, too much elf stuff in my head. I think I will do some fan art piece more to my liking. Hope everyone likes Red Sonja...
