Great Artist Warm Up Exercise

Step 3: Sip and Draw

So this is easy.   Just look at your little splashes and streaks and think of what they look like.
Just like looking at clouds the images come to you and before you know it your done with your first cup of coffee and drawing like mad.  Enjoi!

 I'm a teacher and always thankful for people like you! For many many reasons this excercise is wonderful!

 delightful! 

[smbarne]

Delightful idea.  I think I might put a paper towel below the pages to make sure the coffee doesn't stain through to multiple pages though.

Not a huge fan of Minimalism are you? I am when I'm doing car body work.

[HannahLegutki]

lol its just that I usually dont have an idea and the paper is like taunting me. 'll stare at it for an hour before I have a idea

[Buttermonkey63]

It's almost impossible to be a minamilist while sketching :D Im paranoid about tidy pages... but looove it when drawings r' messy but still look cool, or i have like a whole page full of random doodles with barely a trace of graphite-less paper left :)))

[Orchid-Black]

That's how I sketch, but usually only in ink. I find it's much more freeing that way.

The world needs more of this kind of Instructable. We see shapes even in random formations, which is a perfect way of killing artist's block! Genius. Thank you.

Sometimes a stain is just a stain.
