Hello aArtists!
It’s time for another challenge from Anna Aspnes. The AnnaTeam selects a creative page or design concept from the Anna gallery as the ‘AnnaLift.’ Be inspired, create your own ‘AnnaLift,’ upload your page to the Anna gallery and include it here in this forum thread. Upload your page by Friday April 5, 2024 by 8:00 pm EST with the title, ‘AnnaLift. ’ One lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a $5.00 GiftKard to Anna’s shop.
HOW IT WORKS: On Saturday the AnnaTeam posts a creative concept from the Anna gallery as the ‘AnnaLift.’ Check out the inspiration and decide what speaks to you. Is it the design, the color, the wordART, or maybe the photo? Then enjoy artfully playing—there is no right or wrong way to ArtPlay.
Choose ONE idea to lift or choose it ALL and lift it completely. Be inspired, create your ‘AnnaLift’ and then upload your page to the Anna gallery, plus include it here in this forum thread. It would be great if you could link back to your page in the gallery too!
Anna’s products mix well with so many kits/designers and Anna welcomes you to include these with your Anna Products on your AnnaLift page.
If you’ve never challenged yourself to an AnnaLift—just do it!
If you’ve never posted or shared your AnnaLift—just do it!
If you have time to leave some love for someone in the gallery—do it too!
(Your kind words may inspire and encourage someone!)
Please post your art in this thread and link to the Anna Aspnes gallery to win the $5 giftcard.
Urban Nature - scrap-genie
Urban Nature by scrap-genie creates a beautifully blended depiction of the urban environment and the natural flow of a river. Multiple photos illustrate the intersection of the urbane and the natural. The metal and geometric forms of bridges contrasts with the fluid movements of the water and brush. Artsy transfer create prominent textures to represent the stones and sands of the river bar. Artsy brush work brings to life the ground. Layers of paint in whites and neutral browns echo the forms of the built environment. Blue skies pair beautifully with reddish browns. A scripted title and accents add to the energy of the lines and ripples of water. Paper textures add a distressed touch. Scrap-genie has softened and blended the photos to blur the distinction between the environments.
