I have been crawling out of a creative funk and it feels GOOOOOOD! I started with cleaning up and rearranging my craft/art room. I have set forth a few creative goals. I also just want to start drawing and painting for no real purpose other than to do it because, it makes me feel relaxed.
Today I decided to do a creative exercise. I asked Colton what I should draw/paint and he said monsters. Monsters it is!
I started out with a stack of ATC (Artist trading cards). They are small pieces of art paper that are 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
I heisted the sticky googly eyes from the kids craft box. I randomly stuck them on the ATC's.
From here, I took an artist pen and drew my monsters. The inspiration for each monster was all about the eyes.
I then grabbed my watercolor paints and a few markers and brought my monsters to life with color.
I love all my monsters. It was so much fun and relaxing to make these little monsters.
Does anyone want a monster? I am willing to mail out monsters to the first six people who comment. I will e-mail the first six for their addresses, so please make sure I have an e-mail address to contact you with.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! What a neat idea to do with the kids on a rainy day. I would love to see what my girls come up with. You could also do some fun t-shirts with this technique, I bet!
ReplyDeleteThree of these monsters have been spoken for, but three more left for grabs!
