My first crack at one of the Weekly Drawing Challenges………complete the drawing in 20 minutes. Not an easy task for a detail person like me, accustomed to working and reworking, adjusting, layering, tweaking. There are so many things that need adjusting on this, but I stuck with the 20 minute limit and stopped. And discovered in the process that it would be a good thing for me to do more of these…..operate out of my comfort zone.

While tidying up my studio I came across a few of my grandson Jack’s (age 3) paintings (the ones he was doing on that very upbeat painting video on my Facebook page)
I decided it would be interesting to use a part of one as a jumping off point for this week’s drawing. All the basic shapes and colors are his. I used the pens and colored pencils to outline/accentuate his shapes, then added a few of my own touches (the squiggly stuff on the upper right, the circles, of course, and the black areas creating the strong horizontal.)
About 50% his work and 50% mine. A true collaboration, thus the title.
