Yesterday when I posted my first Art Escapes by Dory Kanter exercise Andrea suggested sharing the actual exercise as well as the result. So this time I've followed the directions a little more closely - a little... this is the same exercise as yesterday.
- Do a 1 minute drawing of a mug
- Scribble over it leaving large gaps between the lines
- Colour in the resulting gaps - Dory Kanter suggested using watercolours but I'm playing digitally here - and she suggested working wet in wet with two different colours within each gap to get interesting variations - I've been using variable colour in Painter IX instead
- Make sure you let one area dry before you work adjacent to it (use selection when working digitally)
- Have fun with the colours - I don't think she says that explicitly here but its certainly intended!

I don't know why your last couple of posts haven't shown up on my screen till now - it's very odd! The last couple of days, it's still be your "Smoke" post, and now suddenly there are 3 posts that should have shown up before this...one of which mentions your birthday - it seems as though I remember that being shortly after you came back - but now I'm no longer sure of anything!
I hope I wished you happy birthday!
I really like the colors in this mug mosaic. Thanks for the informative comparison review of Amazon and E-Bay. I keep thinking we should do that, since we have enough books to open a bookstore - but have been intimidated by the process.
I love this! And this exercise is exactly what I need... I feel like I'm in a creative slump. I am going to check out Dory's book - it sounds like something I'd enjoy.
:)
Tinker - sorry about the sudden rush of posts - my birthday was in October but I've only just got this book - I've still got a birthday meal to come too - I seem to be having a long drawn out birthday this year. Glad you like my mug!
Joy Eliz - oh its lots of fun - I hope you like it too!
This is a wonderful idea, I can't wait to attempt it. I have a passion for stained glass and use it quite a bit in my digital art. Anyway this should be fun.... I love yours....Thanks for the inspiration!
