Today is the Memory/Imagination day of our 30 Day Creative Challenge.
Look at “The Desperate Man” by Gustave Courbet. Your challenge today is to imagine what he’s looking at, and recreate that.
Medium is artist’s choice. You can draw, paint, collage, assemblage, assemble a diorama, or dress in drag.
Set a timer for 20 minutes. When the timer chimes, continue if you wish, but 20 minutes is a win.

Alternate 30SAL Challenge
Make a 2020-2021 Comic
As a possible alternative to the #30sal challenge, you can make a comic book or graphic novel based on the year 2020, and the terrible start to 2021. This comic could have any number of sketches, from a single page to all 30, and artists can work in teams. Open to all levels. Stick figures and crayons welcome! If this interests you, “What are you looking at” could be inspiration for your sketch today.
Remember to post your work with #30sal & #seattleartistleague, and add your submissions to Padlet – a spot for Comics has been added to Padlet!
