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.
