Hi everyone,

Hope you had fun with the frog challenge last month! Wow, the frogs I saw that you painted are so beautiful! 🐸 I loved seeing all the different approaches you took.

For September, I have a fresh bunch of grapes for you 🍇.

As always, this is a challenge, so there’s no tutorial, just the reference photo and line drawing for you to download. Play with colour mixes, test out layering, or experiment with your brushstrokes. There’s no right or wrong, it’s all about practising and building confidence.

If you’d like some extra ideas, I painted grapes like these in a full tutorial a while ago. You might find it handy to watch if you’d like to see how I approached the subject. You’ll find that tutorial here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/58265415

The photo this month is one I took myself, so you’ve got lots of natural light, strong contrast, and beautiful red-purple tones to work with. Be as free and loose or as tight and detailed as you like.

You’ll find the reference photo and line drawing below. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Please share your results in the Patreon chat, Facebook group, or Discord.

Happy painting,

Louise

Hi Nancy, there is no tutorial - this is a challenge for those who want to try. I mentioned in the post: "As always, this is a challenge, so there’s no tutorial, just the reference photo and line drawing for you to download." I've included a link to a tutorial that uses a reference photo similar to this one in the description. You can do that if you prefer. Thanks!
