Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From TamsinP: Down and Out In Salutesville; Sarah's Balloon 5th Ride (17 points)
Not everyone in Salutesville is benefiting from Prohibition. Just look at these three. Even the kitty looks decidedly underfed.
Most of these unfortunates find themselves hanging out near to the docks where rents for slum rooms are very low and where they can pick up odd bits of work from Brendan Doyle.
As with my previous entry, these figures are from Dixon Miniatures.
For scoring
3 x 28mm foot @ 5 = 15 points
1 x 28mm kitty @ 2 = 2 points
Total = 17 points
And my ever-more-confusing travel map:
I'm going to beg another lift (my fifth) on Sarah's Balloon, to Rousell's Sandbag, ermmm, Sandhill.
More nice work Tamsin. Need to see the docklands in action. Your mapping skills are shocking. Use a pencil and then a fineliner pen.

Really nice, the punk offsets the muted colours brilliantly.
ReplyDeleteNice, sensitive painting. Your colour choice is great, Tamsin, as always.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Tamsin. As others have already noted, the pink sweater in particular is striking - that looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe painting is so naturalistic - they look great!
ReplyDeleteGreat work, the Dixon catalogue does have some great stuff available.
ReplyDelete@ Martin - thanks! I blame MS Paint for my mapping issues. That and carrying on exploring the island more than I needed to. Needless to say, the maps for any further island location visits will be much improved. :)
ReplyDelete@ Curt - cheers! :)
