VIRTUAL GALLERY
“A 8×8” cold wax medium on cradled board. This painting started out being sky and land, and became rock and water, after turning it over! Love being able to play with cold wax and develop whatever comes to mind. This is an imagined scene, using a different color pallet for me, and a bit more abstract. Pleased with the result.” – Riki Schumacher
Oil Painting 10×8
Acrylic on White Fiberglass panel
55″ x 43″
“The shape is irregular with angles.
The substrate is 1/2 ” inch ply, mounted to
a 2″ x 2″ lumber. For myself an evolution.
The title was given by 10-year-old Olivia,
It is what she saw. Note: The shape was
Very spontaneous and a great new change.
Enjoy,” – Steve

Inktober started in 2009 as a challenge to improve inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year.
Feel free to continue this challenge as long as you’d like to grow and learn year-round!
Inktober Rules:
1) Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want).
2) Post it and/or email it to us at artcentralslo@yahoo.com
3) Hashtag it with #inktober #inktober and #artcentral
4) Repeat for the whole month of October…. or as long as you would like!
Note: you can do it daily, or go the half-marathon route and post every other day, or just do the 5K and post once a week. Whatever you decide, just be consistent with it. Inktober is about growing and improving and forming positive habits, so the more you’re consistent the better.
