Today starts week 2 for the drawing challenge. Prizes are awarded weekly. A single post makes you eligible to win a prize.
Take or make a picture of yourself before making art, take or make another photo after, and then post them to Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #ArtBeforeAfter (see the how-to below). Show the world that art increases our happiness quotient, and promote charcoal as a beauty mark.
HOW TO CREATE A SIDE-BY-SIDE INSTAGRAM PHOTO FOR YOUR #ARTBEFOREAFTER
Open the Instagram app and tap the plus-sign icon at the bottom of the screen to post a photo.
At the bottom right of the photo at the top, you’ll see three icons. Tap the middle one, the grid icon.
This will take you to a screen with “choose layout” at the top and your photos below. Select your before photo and then your after photo. You’ll see a blue checkmark appear in the bottom corner of each after you select them.
At the top of that same page, under “choose layout,” swipe to the fifth one over, the layout with two vertical photos side by side. Select that.
Select “next” at the top right of your screen, and “next” again, and then post. Don’t forget to use #ARTBeforeAfter in your caption!
Thank you for sharing your work! I love seeing these artworks online. People who post to Instagram or on Facebook will be eligible to win prizes (see details). No matter where you post, tag us so we can find it #seattleartistleague #salchallenge #artbeforeafter.

We’ll be attending the event later today. …
Take a class with SAL – anywhere! A while back I was Looking Closely at JS Sargent’s Portrait of Henry James. In the post I guessed at Sargent’s palette, his brushes, and a bit about his process. After I wrote that post I continued thinking about his process, did more research and more thinking, and …
Yesterday I talked about trace monotypes: “Trace monotypes are made by laying paper down on an inked piece of plexiglass, then drawing a design on the back of the paper. The drawing tool presses the paper against the ink, making a dark line on the front of the paper.” – Ruthie V, circa yesterday Today …
Nocturne in Black and Gold – The Falling Rocket James Abbot McNeill Whistler c. 1875 I’ve long admired Whistler’s Nocturnes for their spare elegance, and subtle nods to Hiroshige’s woodblock prints. What I didn’t know is that it bankrupted poor Whistler, and was the subject of lawsuit controversy as unfortunate as modern daytime television. All that, and it was …
