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 1.13.23 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.
Imagine by zlemon
Imagine by zlemon creates a dynamic portrait. The image is alive with a combination of moving, loose artsy strokes and grungy, bold stripes. The portrait of John Lennon is barely marked with neutral colors in impasto paint layers. The lyrics of the song are skillfully placed in juxtaposition to the vertical, large title - Imagine. This choice in journaling establishes a meaningful connection between the subject, the artist, and the viewer. The title dominates a vertical edge and the lines of text repeat the bold brush lines. An edge of white space creates a space of calm and rest. This use of space balances the portrait for a gorgeous visual effect.
Thank you, zlemon, for sharing your stunning and inspirational artistry.
