Quick Kick February
#QuickKickFebruary
“Quick Kicks” are our monthly creative challenges that you can complete in 15 minutes or less per day.
For ‘Quick Kick February’ we are challenging you to draw or paint using non-art tools. That could be painting with a toothbrush, or making marks with bits of string or a twig. We’ll leave it to your imagination.
When is the last time experimented with unusual painting tools?
The aim of this challenge is to experiment with mark making and introduce playfulness to your work.
Guidelines
- You should create one drawing or painting every day
- We will provide optional prompts, but feel free to do your own thing
