The way I started this blog goes back to December of 2013. Four friends and I decided to keep a daily blog of one simple drawing a day. We took turns at devising a prompt of the week for all of us to respond to on our own blog page. Well, it went on for some time, the group blogging ending about a year ago. Except for me. I kept going, blogging frequently for months, but lately slowly slacking off a bit.
The topic of returning to our practice has come up before, but this time there seems to be some interest. One of my blogmates has actually suggested a prompt for this week. The prompt is "Three". And then, "Three, differently". What does it mean? I don't know, and it's not really important. The idea is to simply follow your impulse and respond in some way.
I chose apples as I was eating one as I read the email about the prompt. I drew some apples with pencil, then colored pencil, then watercolor. I wanted to jazz it up a bit to make it more interesting for myself so I cut out the apples and painted another background to set them against. Was it transformational? No, but it pleased me so I took photos and posted them.
