Five Minutes a Day

 Recipe For A Five Minute Drawing

Ingredients: 1 box oil pastels
                    1 graphite pencil
                    1 pad 110 lb. acid free white paper
                    1 roll masking tape
                    1 exacto knife/scraper

Method: Draw a 6 inch square on fresh sheet of paper. Mask around edges of square. Scribble with oil pastels within masked area. Think about the space around you - the land, the air, colour, light. Layer oil pastels quickly, switching colours, blending with fingers. Smudge. Use pencil and knife to add line or scrape away areas. Remove masking tape border. Stare at it.

 There.
