The Viral Art Club

I have started following an Instagram project called Viral Art Club.

It's a daily art exercise, being set by my art mentor Sarah Holliday.  She is a member of the prestigious Royal Watercolour Society.  Wonderful artist and teacher.  Anyway, if you use Instagram and feel like taking part, it's open to all ages and levels of experience and is completely free.  Look for @viralartclub

Working dark to light  with charcoal.
Cover the paper with charcoal and lift out the light with a putty eraser.  If needed, put back some dark with the edge of the charcoal.  Then, negative shape lilies.
