Materials

The nature of this challenge really is about playing with materials and exploring all kinds of combinations. You'll get the most out of this session if you have access to a wide variety of materials, and colours. These are some examples of suitable media: felt tip pens, paint sticks, soft pastels, charcoal, watercolour, coloured pencil, acrylic paint, wax crayons, oil pastels, highlighter pens, stickers, coloured tape...

Paper - any kind of paper is suitable! More than 1 colour of paper is a bonus but not essential!

*The 3 Materials Drawing Challenge was originally created by illustrator Kathryn Boyt, over several years it has become a popular challenge on social media. The idea is to draw from life, for 30minutes, using only 3 materials. It is now hosted by Kathryn Boyt, Naomi Tipping and Charlotte Durance. Take a look at the hashtag on instagram to get inspired. This year it is taking place throughout August but this is a great exercise to try any time of the year!
