The week 17 prompt was to photograph or draw your favorite shoes.

I don’t have a favorite shoe.  I also don’t own many pairs of shoes.  I have never seen the point of owning so many shoes so I only own what I need.  I decided to draw the sneakers that I use the most.  I think it came out pretty well.  Unfortunately I didn’t use watercolor paper so the paper I used was thin for watercolors and became a bit wrinkly. The background was dark and since the sneaker is black I decided to do a border so it would stand out a bit.

Here is an image of the actual shoe.

The week 16 prompt was to add cardboard from a food box in a creative way.

I used the cardboard from a gluten free cereal called Koala Crisps.  The background is supposed to be a blueish grey and was supposed to be a wash but I didn’t use enough water.  I was going to cut out a koala fact from the box but something else I cut out cut part of it so instead I just wrote it at the bottom.

The prompt for week 15 was to be monochromatic. Using shades, tints and hues of one color.

I decided to use shades of blue and use very little white and black. The background is an acrylic wash.  The big water drops I created using label paper, sharpie, white gel pen and distress inks. The checklist is on a post it.  The girl was created with a torn dictionary page, watercolor paper, sharpies and watercolors. The small drops were created with pearlescent acrylic paint marker, white gel pen and sharpie.
