In order to help stir my creativity I have decided to do a Random Art Prompt (RAP) every week. And you are welcome to join me!

• Every week I go to magatsu.net/art for a "random art prompt". It can be anything from a single word to a short sentence. Your job and mine is to, inspired by this prompt, make an image until next week.
• You can interpret the art prompt any way you want. There is no right or wrong and no competition.
• Post your result as a reply in this thread (you can of course also post it elsewhere). It's fun (but not mandatory) if you explain briefly how the prompt inspired you. It's also nice if you give a friendly comment on other entries.
• If you don't finish until I post the next prompt, no worries - just post when you are done, noting which prompt it goes with. Or better - post what you've got and remember the lessons until next image!
• Your work could be a doodle, a quick sketch, a partial or full work, all goes.
• You can use any art technique (painting, drawing, photography, filters, collages, photo-manipulations etc). You can use any program or even scan your traditional artwork.
• The only real requirement is that you make new art based on the given prompt - rehashing old stuff defeats the point of this exercise!

The point of the RAP is making something artistic every week. You might also end up trying themes you'd never choose on your own. Just do something and you will have been successful.

Good Luck!

OK, I don't really do much 'art', but decided why not throw something out really fast and furious. If I didn't just jump right in and do something fast, I'd overthink it and never get anything done in the time I had to spare...so just off the top of my head, decided to use only brushes and figure filters in basic gimp...so spirogimp and lines and round brushes is it.

OK Griatch; extracted this rose and then used Mathmap Circle/line to create a field of them.

Terrific idea Griatch.

So in Kalgoorlie, on the desert edge in Western Australia, the rose blooms are extremely large in the local fields of roses, but only if grown in pots!

I'm not a digital painter, but -because the challenge is open to any kind of "art"- this is my try:

-I found a nice photo by googling (Italian site "lacasagiusta.it")
-then I applied one of my Gimp filters (a combination of many many "transformations"

here the outcome



enjoy!

...a variation, to get a look closer to acrylic painting (still on paper)

That is really nice dinasset. love the texture and the colors.

a totally different "filter" to approach the look of a stained glass window...

thanks, Molly

What wonderful outcomes! All of them are very nice. 2-Ton, Lyle, OMG, Dinasset
Griatch had a fantastic idea and we all are going to enjoy great outcomes with plenty of roses.

it's now your turn, Issabella!

Wow! I look away for a moment and then boom, people's creativity hit big time!


This is an excellent attitude - jumping in and not thinking too much is a great way to get things done in art, I find. Your result came out very cool too - abstract and the heart-shape at the bottom makes me think of a poker card - maybe this design would work well as the back decoration of a poker deck!


Very pretty lylejk, I like how they came out in slightly different orientations to give more dynamics to the field.


Hehe, that's quite some flowerbed you've got there! I've seen blue(-black) roses in real life too.


A great outcome there, dinasset! Of these three I think I like the stained glass window the most; that black frame really makes it feel like we are looking out to a bright daylight with only rose-glass in between.

Here my try. I did the composition with roses and then I applied GMIC Yag-filter.
I applied bokeh effect on the second try.

Nice ones Issabella.

I'm working on mine now.

Moko, you are pretty famous here with your special style of roses...you have a very unique way of drawing and coloring them, so it will be interesting to see if you stick with your style or try something different.

very nice, Issabella!
