Hi everyone.

Ready to test your creativity? This week’s challenge invites you to explore the power of a single color!

Create an image using only shades and tones of one color, whether it’s cool blues, fiery reds, soft purples, or moody greys. 

 

The prompt I used: A surreal forest made entirely with shades of purple from soft lavender mist to deep plum shadows. Trees, ground, and sky are all variations of purple, creating a dreamy, otherworldly atmosphere. Light and depth come from contrast, not color variation.

Prompt: A luminous image of a young child joyfully running through a wide field of giant yellow sunflowers, every element rendered in a radiant spectrum of yellows. The child’s hair, clothing, and the surrounding flowers glow with golden light, sunlight streaming from above and casting soft, dreamy shadows. The background blurs gently into a haze of sun-drenched yellow meadow, creating a warm, uplifting mood. The entire composition is bathed in monochromatic yellow tones—from pale lemon to deep gold—for a cohesive, emotionally resonant image, with a storybook style.

Evening setting view of a pond with a frog on a lily pad, dragonflies, fireflies. A large moon on the horizon. Swamp trees on both sides of the pond. Image is monochromatic in navy blue with very dim lighting. Dim lighting highlights shapes and provides contrast amongst the calm setting.
