Nancie King Mertz Challenge - Paint What Scares You
Challenge yourself to get out of your comfort zone and push yourself to paint what’s hardest for you. Do you quake when contemplating a portrait, or shiver in distress over making cat fur look furry rather than flat? Do you consider perspective your worst enemy, or maybe you’re terrified by painting outside? Deadline is EXTENDED to April 25, 2025 Three award winners will be announced at our May 4th zoom meeting. Whatever your challenge is, give it a try. Members only.
