YIKES! PAINT WITH YOUR OTHER HAND!! by Linda Popple

4x4 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord
I have to admit I wasn't looking forward to attempting this challenge, but once I got into it ...... ok I still didn't like it.  At first I thought it would be a good exercise in loosening up, but instead I painted very slow and just tried to keep my painting looking like an apple.  I cheated at the end by adding a couple of lines with a palette knife.  Painting slowly was frustrating and I kept wanting to transfer my brush quickly to my right hand.  However, I'm happy with the final outcome and was pleasantly surprised that an apple emerged from my left hand.  Will wonders never cease?!!!  So, all in all, I liked this challenge more than I thought I would. :-)  
A final word .....

  1. Yay, you did the challenge and it is wonderful! I found that it made me pay attention to detail more, but yet, I was forced to keep it loose because I had no control of my left hand. Great work!!
