I came across this art challenge, and although prompt lists usually intimidate me, this one looked rather inviting, because it has only one prompt a week. Also, it's about making art of one of my favourite subjects: birds!
Alright, I'm in!
There's been a pause in my bird stamp making process, the usual... found more things to do and make and can't do everything at once. But I'm nowhere near done with that one, and this challenge adds to it, so a great moment to pick it up again.
Although... with the stamps I was making I wanted to recreate those species I've seen in my own backyard, and these prompts will divert me from that idea. Because 1) I don't live near a desert, 2) I'm not in a tropical country, 3) I don't own a pet, and 4) I don't live near the sea. Well, seen globally I do I guess, in a way everyone in the Netherlands lives near the sea, but not near enough to have seabirds in the area.
But I will make it work in a different way; I will pick birds that live somewhere in the Netherlands, or that I have seen in zoos and such. I know which ones I'll make for the first three prompts, not sure yet about the last, but that's okay since I have extra time to think about that one.
I'll share sketches and works in progress at my IG account @afke11 and tell you about my process and bird choices here. Might also post a photo or two that I've made myself of birds!
