Doodlewash

#Tinkersketch

For November 2019, it’s a month to enjoy things that are just really super fun to draw and/or watercolor paint! As always, this Doodlewash art challenge is open to anyone who wants to participate with just watercolor painting, just drawing (ink, colored pencils, crayons, etc.!), or a lovely mix of both!* Simply add the hashtag #doodlewashNovember2019 when you post on all of your social networks, and if you also use lovely watercolor add the #WorldWatercolorGroup hashtag as well so we can find you and link to your lovely watercolors!
You’re officially invited to join us for the November Art Challenge, filled with all sorts of prompts to get your creative ideas flowing. This month’s selection is filled with maker words that can help you dream up new ways to interpret art materials and processes. The main goal is to have fun. Don’t worry about the outcomes and let yourself play!
No experience necessary. Kids and adults welcome.

Kick in the creatives:  2 challenges

https://kickinthecreatives.com

Kick Collage

#KickCollage
Introducing our new challenge ‘Kick Collage’. We are challenging you to experiment with collage in your work every day throughout November. You can complete the entire piece of art using images you’ve cut or torn out or using elements you’ve found. Alternatively, you could create a drawing or painting over your collaged elements.
When creating a piece of art using collage, you will find that tone is far more important than colour. Collage is a fun way of learning to understand just how important the contrast between your darks and lights really is in a piece of art.

Guidelines​
  1. You should work on one piece of art every day that incorporates collage
  2. We will provide optional prompts, but feel free to do your own thing
  3. Don’t forget to link back to us and tag us at the end of your post (details are shown below) We might even link back to your best picture on our own!
As a reminder, please tag us on social media

Tips to make things a little more manageable
  1. Don’t attempt anything too complex, unless you want to of course.
  2. If you prefer to spend longer on each piece, you could spend a little time each day of a more detailed piece of work.
  3. Collect your torn elements in advance and separate them into tones; so darks, lights and mid-tones. You will find that as long as the tones are right, your collage will work regardless of the colours used.
Ideas to make your work a little more interesting
  • Experiment with different papers and collage elements, such as stamps, old shopping lists, letters, an old novel, music sheets, wrapping paper, magazine cuttings, post-it notes… The list is endless!
  • Try working over the top of your collage with different mediums. Use transparent pigments so that all, or parts of your collage remain visible,
  • Try introducing different textures, such as fabric or corrugated card.
Quick Kick November​
#QuickKickNovember“Quick Kicks” are our monthly creative challenges that you can complete in 15 minutes or less per day.
For ‘Quick Kick November’ we are challenging you to draw with a brush and ink (or paint if you don’t have ink) WITHOUT using a pen or pencil first, every day throughout the month of November. By getting straight in there with a brush, you can simplify your drawings and experiment with creating different marks to add interest and texture to your work.
You can draw anything you like, but we will also supply optional prompts for you to use if you prefer. (see above for prompts)

Guidelines
  1. You should create one drawing every day
  2. You should aim to complete your sketch in one session of 15 minutes or less. This ensures that you notice the important elements of the subject and that you don’t get lost in detail
  3. We will provide optional prompts, but feel free to do your own thing
  4. Don’t forget to link back to us and tag us at the end of your post (details are shown below) We might even link back to your best picture on our own!
As a reminder, please tag us on social media

  • Instagram: @kickinthecreatives

And you should also add the following hashtags:

Tips to make things a little more manageable
  • Draw something that’s not too complex.
  • Stop after 15 minutes.
Ideas to make your art a little more interesting
  • You could prepare your paper in advance with a wash of colour
  • Play with different brushes to see what sort of marks you can make
  • Experiment with the pressure of your brush. By brushing with only the pointed tip, you can achieve a really fine line. By pressing down on the brush, you will produce thicker, bolder marks.
  • Try working on toned, coloured or tinted paper
  • Try using different coloured inks or paints
