Day 6 of Creative Everyday Month - draw your favourite book

I chose 'The Artist Way' by Julia Cameron - I think everyone should own a copy. It might not be a book you will want to read from front to cover but one you can open up when you are feeling a bit unmotivated or something had upset you? The first thing I got out of this book was writing morning pages, if I didn't start writing then, I would be in a much different place than what I am today! Thank you Julia x

I'm reading Art and Fear at the moment and it is AWESOME! I finished War of Art last week which every artist would also enjoy!

Primary colours: Are the three colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours together - red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colours: A secondary colour is made by mixing two primary colours together: red and yellow to get orange, yellow and blue to get green, or red and blue to get purple. The secondary colour depends on the proportion in which you mix the two primaries. For example, if you add more red than yellow, you get a reddish orange,...
