Unfortunately I cannot get hold of the nominated sketch book, or any concertina sketchbook with
6" x 4" pages so I am going to make my own as the idea is to have a stand-up display and I have received some lovely cards as my returns.
The brief was to produce sets of 4 cards on a theme of your choice which are swapped out in your group. As they are almost 6" x 4" there is a bit more space so you can really go for it!

ATCsforall.com - a learning swap; Paint/Draw Like a Woman
This was fun and a great learning experience - copying a style really makes you look very hard. These paintings are also on ATC cards 3.5" x 2.5" so it was an even greater challenge.
Rules...
1. Select only from the list on this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._women_artists. Stick to those women who were painters/drawers/printmakers/illustrators for the purposes of this swap.
2. Do NOT select artists whose work you have painted/drawn before (e.g. NO Frida Kahlo, folks, unless you've never heard of her). We are going to try to learn about NEW to us artists with this swap

ICAD 25 to 32...
I stayed on prompt with symbols but I have gone rogue now! Back to words and images - and watercolours of one of my granddaughters. I like this challenge because it is small scale so it is achievable; I enjoy trying out different ideas and techniques in a relatively quick way.
I also love seeing all the other cards; the range is extraordinary and the ideas and techniques are inspiring.
