This month focus on everyday inspiration and step outside to notice the details around you. A familiar street, a fleeting moment, or a change in light can spark your sketches. Use your sketchbook to capture what catches your eye and experiment with pencils, pens, markers, or watercolours to explore your surroundings.
Create outdoors for a chance to win new art supplies. In collaboration with @journal.to.go, we invite artists of all levels to join the #SketchYourWorldChallenge.
How to Enter
Draw or sketch outdoors – take inspiration from nature, your city, or your surroundings.
Share your artwork online using #SketchYourWorldChallenge.
Submit before the end of the month to be eligible.
Prizes
Three winners will be selected in early June. Each will receive a set of new art supplies from the Royal Talens assortment to continue their creative practice.
