Yesterday at The Hirshhorn.
(Can you believe after so many years going to DC it is the first time I visit this museum? I didn't know it existed! What I've been missing!!! I was probably always guided by my kids wanting to go to the Air and Space one 😂)

Having fun with carnations.
I took a picture of my set up while painting so you could see my reality 😂. If I'm having coffee while painting my coffee mug also goes on that table...far from my water bucket to clean brushes...to avoid drinking ultramarine blue coffee😂

The once in a lifetime oranges challenge 😂. This is the third and LAST try. I decided to take a picture of each step to understand where does the painting goes south...and well, I kind of like this one. So, could the secret be to slow down with oranges? Take pictures of each step? Or to try three times? Ha!
I also added a bit more white to these color mixes than to the two previous ones. And I also learn, I want to be looser with oranges! So, if for some crazy reason, I attemp something like this again you'll see three kind of curved orange brushstrokes and you'll have to guess that they are oranges.
Thanks to all who tried. I saw wonderful paintings and value studies out there. And, if you have not tried this challenge yet...I dare you! I posted the picture on my previous post.

Good luck! And patience ;) Remember when posting your challenge attempts use the #6x6happyhabit

A CHALLENGE FOR MY ARTIST FRIENDS!

I took this picture for a class, straight forward, three beautiful oranges under the sun with a light teal background. One of my favorite color schemes!
.
Well, yesterday was the first time I got to paint it at the same time as one of my brave students did...and what a surprise we got! It was HARD! The orange color, to make it light, dark, or vibrant wasn't as straight forward without overworking the oranges.
.
I would love for you to try it and post it as #6x6happyhabit. I would love to see how you solve it!
.
I'm on my second try today! I will post all of them once I'm happy with a result 😊.
.
I tagged all I remember by memory! But I want ALL of you to try!
