Our October Get Dusty is open for entries. The category is 'Animals', the challenge is 'Closeups/details'. Zoom in on your favourite animal and paint scale or feather patterns, horns, eyes, mouths, paws etc. Please do not post paintings of detached animal parts like skulls or single feathers, only closeups of living animals. 

Update: Do not show a whole animal, we want details as shown in the photo!

• Judge

Born in Libourne in 1952, pastellist Marie-Christine Coupillaud now lives in Bearn in the Pau region in France.

Passionate about painting since childhood, she took watercolour lessons and tried her hand at oils before discovering pastel in 2000. After a period of self-teaching, she perfected her training by participating in two workshops with the Maîtres Pastellistes de France in July 2004 and 2005 during the International Pastel Festival at FEYTIAT.

This month's category is landscape, the challenge is 'Mountains'. Please do not post a landscape with some hill in the background or some vague, faraway mountain range.We want to see mountains and they should be your centre of interest. The landscape part should take up at least 50% of your painting, this is not about skies either.

Every member may post up to two entries, deadline is September 25. Happy painting!
