Climb in through a small window
This was a fun assignment I gave my watercolor class:

Take your sketchbook or a scrap of watercolor paper, and a pencil or fine tipped pen.

Draw a 3”x 3” square

Inside the square, draw as many animals as you can in 10 minutes (It’s up to you how you interpret that) 

Now draw a second 3”x3” square, except leave one of the four sides open. 

Then, draw as many animals as you can, escaping out of the square. Again, you have 10 minutes


Now, only if you want to, add some paint
Here is my solution: 



This is not about drawing skills, and it’s not a test. It’s about doing something relatively light-hearted that gets you moving. It is a reminder to enjoy the process in your own way. Have fun!
