An art for fun day
Today I used the shop for one of my key motivations with art which is to share and offer the joy of creating pieces using a medium that may be unfamiliar to many.
I allow members of the public aged 4+ to use my promarker collection that covers the entire colour range. I supply an A6 postcard piece of watercolour paper for them to draw whatever they desire all for free.
Today I had eight takers. I will share pictures when I have transferred images from one device to another but not today. The key aspect was watching the joy of drawing and conversations shared with siblings, parents and even me.
A great honour to be able to facilitate such an opportunity.
