Drawing Prompt - Cat
I love how defined the whiskers are on this cat. They kind of steal the show. Try drawing or painting this cat using any tool you have or multiple art tools in your art cart.
Paint The Things You Find Difficult To Paint
The best advice I got from an art class was, If you find someone difficult to paint, paint it over and over again until it’s not hard anymore.
Drawing Prompt - Pathway
A pathway sends your viewer’s eyes on a journey, so I would suggest painting or drawing this picture with an additional point of interest…or keep them guessing as to where the pathway leads.
Why is a Sketchbook Practice Important?
My sketchbook practice didn’t start until the spring of 2023, when I understood that art is important for me. I need to it every day because it brings me so much joy and peace. A little book with blank pages can do so much for your art practice.
Drawing Prompt - Clouds
There’s an art to painting or drawing clouds. They seem like they should be easy, and they are if you’re going for those fun cartoony clouds, but I think the hardest part is creating something fluffy and dimensional with a few shades of a colour.
How much time should I spend on my art?
I had a hard time with this question when I was younger. I used to think I had to work on a piece of art for weeks or months…sometimes years. I wanted to work for hours and hours, through the night even, because that sounded so romantic.
