Challenges 2020-23

Painting challenges

Starting in 2020 and now into 2023, WOKAS members have been creating art for our regular ‘painting challenges’ which give members a specific theme to work to, such as:

- still life

- landscapes

- portraits

- animals

- abstract

- interiors

- water

- gardens

- interpretation of a photo

- working in monochrome

- autumn light

- working in the style of an artist

- working in pencil

- a room in my home

- mixed media

- art of the close-up

- skylines

- extending an image

- machines and anything mechanical

- emotions

WOKAS members responded to our challenges with a great variety of paintings. You can see them all below – you need to click on the picture to open each folder of paintings. Contact us if you would like to get in touch with any of the artists.
