Roy’s Challenge: Little Bird

Posted on December 24, 2016 by dkatiepowellart

w16-12-20-pentalic-roys-bird-1An unexpected bit of joy on a tough day.
99% ink, and done in about five minutes
(but ink dried between splashes while I was packing for a business trip.)

Roy DeLeon posted this little challenge on FB:
1. Copy this drawing with whatever materials on whatever paper according
to your abilities while ignoring the inner critic.
TIP: Time yourself, say 5 minutes.
Then whatever comes out of those 5 minutes, accept it with a smile.
2. Then ask the little bird what it’s thinking.
3. Share with me.

Feel free to do the same on FB or on your blog….

If you send them to me at dbdcat @ aol.com I’ll post them here….

    I love this loose style of watercolor! This little bird is beautiful! I’m so glad he was able to bring you joy on a day you found tough.

    Merry Christmas Katie! Talk to you in the new year!
