#239 of 365 Daily Drawings

Inspiration: 4” x 4” x 1 3/8” gallery wrapped canvas for a project

Result: Catnap in blue

Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Platinum Carbon Fountain Pen, Sakura Micron 005, Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils in a Stillman & Birn Alpha series sketchbook ( 21.6 cm 27.9 cm / 8 1/2” x 11”)

Location: Home

Note: I signed up for the Pen Pal Painting Exchange, hosted by The Brooklyn Art Library ~ I am provided with the tiny canvas and will paint something upon it & post it back. It will then be matched with another artist and my work will be sent along to them and I will receive theirs.

I have not used acrylics in a very long time, which is why I decided to do this
…forcing myself out of comfort zones and mixing up my medium use. This is an initial study for the piece & I’ll paint *the box* on the outside of the canvas’ four sides.

This was the moment that made us really glad we made ‘Dinosaurs’ a theme in The Sketchbook Project last year.

Sometimes I wonder how many people actually got to touch this page.

here’s something old, since there’s nothing new.

Submit a creative prompt that might become part of a secret project we’re posting next week. It could be a simple instruction like “draw a rocket ship” or cryptic proposal such as ”follow them!” 

Tweet @arthouse using hashtag #randomspark with your prompt by this Friday, May 24th, and it may appear in next week’s free project, which will include an art supply giveaway provided by our friends at Michaels®.
