Go simple, Go bold, Go for it!
Your challenge this week is to create a Picasso! He was able to use very simple lines to capture the character and essence of a thing. Have a go at drawing animals, people, objects using a single line or very few lines. See if you can draw them how you see them!
Feeling ambitious? You could draw a portrait (or get a picture from a magazine!) and cut this up and rearrange it to create a Picasso like image.
Picasso painted Guernica (see attached picture) an anti war painting measuring 349.3 cm × 776.6 cm. It depicts the destruction of a Spanish town. What do you think of this painting?
Anyway, on with the art…. ... See MoreSee Less

Luckily one of our regular artists Jackie, has come to my rescue. Hurrah :) Thank you Jackie for this weeks challenge. This week we will be creating mood circles. These can include positive messages, how you are feeling, how are other people feeling? It can include what is happening now, the future, the past.
Draw several circles on a piece of paper. Look at the example and draw circles intersecting or crossing over with each other.
Use a cup or other round object to draw around if you want a really neat circle.
You can also fill them with colour, pictures, faces, doodles, anything you like really. Jackie has kindly provided a couple of examples. ... See MoreSee Less

Good morning artists and Zen masters everywhere!
Your challenge this week is to create a random, colourful Zentangle.
Take a pen or pencil and draw a squiggly line all around a piece of paper.
Make this into a Zentangle by filling the gaps with patterns and shapes. See the examples for some ideas but feel free to create your own.
Now fill in the patterns, either with colour or by shading different parts of the pattern. ... See MoreSee Less
