Card Tower Challenge – 64 Million artists – Janaury Challenge

This About Me video is a slice of my family vlog series where I explore a memory from my past using watercolour.

My Nans used to play cards every evening on a small table by her chair in the living room. There was always roaring fire and family pictures on the mantlepiece.

The table was made from the back of either an old radio or TV set and had very sturdy but wonky legs. Make do and mend was key to the era.

This is a useful technique for when you don’t have a camera or a photo, but you have a good memory or a description of an event in your life.

In the accompanying video , i’ll explain how to create the background of my memory using a pencil sketch and then use watercolour to render the image.

Using simple shapes I will then create the characters within the picture so that you can try a cartooning technique yourself.
