Cropping Challenge #1
Here is a photograph…how would you paint it?
Many times we see a photograph such as this and think that this would make a great painting.
But will it? Like it is? Could it use a little help? Do you know what to do to make it better?
Let's find out!
Something new for you to consider. In a continuing effort to help you see the world as an artist, we are going to start offering some challenges to make you think before you pick up that brush and paints.
We are starting a new series of thought provoking challenges to help you become a better painter. These will be a small sampling of our newest tutorials that will be called “Painting Design” that will be released in the future.
You must be at least a GREEN Member to participate, and you must be logged in. This is a FREE Membership.
This is a very busy photo indeed. Thamk you for the challenge.
This was so much fun and I can not wait to learn all about the cropping method, my fingers are crossed that I did well. But being I am just learning the chances are slim but I enjoyed every minute of it so far. Thank you both.
Hi Jon, last night I sent my cropped image since this was the first time to send and image on APWGC thought I’d check if you received it okay. Have a great day. Teent
I saved the above image and cropped but I cannot attached. It shows zero steps completed. Should I need to go to a different area to complete this challenge?
I just did a video on how to participate in the challenge. Take a look, https://youtu.be/FDuc5Ae8b20, and let me know if this helps or if you still have questions or problems.
I am not getting the tutorial content. All I see are replies. Not sure why?

Hi Jon. Watched the video and followed the steps. Logged in and Challenge #1 pops up…zero steps completed. Not sure what I’m doing wrong but I have cropped the picture and it’s ready to be sent. Any ideas?
