A Guernsey-based landscape and wildlife artist has finished a daily drawing challenge for the month of January. During the Strada Easel Challenge, an international competition, artists post their work on social media every day for a month.Rosanne Guille is one of 932 people to complete the challenge out of the 1,523 who entered.The artwork produced during the challenge must be from life, rather than from a photo or picture.
Mrs Guille included Guernsey butter, daffodils and snails in some of her pictures.This is her second time taking part in the challenge, having completed it last year."I think it is good for an artist to go out of their comfort zone now and again," she said. "You can get very comfortable in knowing you can do something well but it's not necessarily making you any better."Her final piece was a painting of some houses and a driveway.
