#6weekartchallenge

I'm going to be working on the lessons from Veronica Lawlor's course, one drawing every day for 6 weeks (42 in total).

Feel free to purchase a copy of the book, join in with the hashtag and let's see how much we can improve under her advice!

 

There also seems to be quite the shopping list of materials, some standard, some less-so..

 

I'm going to use the list to keep track of what I need to order. I'll aim to start the challenge sometime in mid-November. Check out my Instagram and my Facebook to get the most up-to-date posts.
