Another Challenge TAXI #21

Heleni has given us another challenge to help get us out of the "box" ... this time the word TAXI.....
After really trying to rack my brain I saw one of the latest "Who Do You Think You Are" series where Roshida  Jones , who was looking for her grandmother, found out that she worked as a "Taxi Dancer".... After looking for some references found one of some girls waiting on the sidelines.... Today is the critique....

Work done on 300 grm paper  gouache and oil pastel....about 45 cm x 35 cm

Still out of my comfort zone with gouache... but had fun with this one...

19 - 20 Independence Day Challenge

Our  creative workshop instructor, Heleni Shamai, often gives us challenges on various subjects... the latest Independence day... with or without the -day--  Critique will be this Tuesday the 1st of May... will probably take photos as usual of the works submitted....some of the concepts should be very interesting....

My concept is very simple.... cars and bikes are usually decorated with flags so painted from a photo of my grandsons riding on their bikes...added on the flags....

We bought Uri.3, a strider wooden bike a yr ago and he just now can reach the ground on it...
 oil pastels on A4 watercolor paper

Noam,7, riding his two wheeler.... this is my first attempt with gouache..... really way out of my comfort zone!!!  Have put this up on wetcanvas forum.. so may tweak from some suggestions!!!!

next challenge is TAXI  for the 22 Nd

18 Blue Jug

Although this was done last November I am posting it as 18....  18x18 cm oil crayons   brown paper
Really need tweaking but can't put on much more crayon....

This looks much better on the computer than in real... cover a bit lopsided!!!
