Welcome to: Sacred Time: Part 5/5 , this day one of a 5 day project where we explore our relationship to time and aim to set apart 10 minutes of quality time each day for a drawing habit.


This project is the first the first of 3 projects of “Start a daily drawing habit: a Gameplan”, go here for the full table of contents.

A note on the assignment: For today especially, use a piece of scratch paper for the assignment. Take your notes and be extra messy and playful on your scratch paper, then draw the assignment again in your template, share both your scratch paper and your assignment in the chat/gallery.

Shall we go, Let’s GO!

Shall we go, Let’s GO!

Welcome to day 5:

Sacred Time

The clock lets me know the drawing took a certain number of minutes, but I didn’t feel those minutes in the usual way.

The drawing seemed to take a long time and then no time at all, even a minute after I had finished I could hardly remember the beginning stages, and it took a feeling of having appeared on it’s own, somehow making itself come into being
