Creative Art Prompts for Every Day of the Year

365 Days of Art in Colour

365 Days of Art in Colour is a celebratory collection of daily art prompts that will help readers embrace using colour in their art, whatever their skill level. 
 
Lorna Scobie encourages readers to look at colour afresh and not be afraid to use it boldly and playfully, as it can bring so much creative joy. Each activity falls into one of four useful categories: learn, play, observe and feel, designed to cater to whatever creative mood may strike! The book also includes simple information on colour theory and different art materials, including pens, paints and pastels to help readers make the most of any activity. 
 
365 Days of Art in Colour will help readers free their creativity and discover how colour can make a splash in their work wherever they are on their artistic journey.

Lorna Scobie grew up in the depths of the English countryside, climbing trees and taking her rabbit for walks in the fields. She is an illustrator and designer, now based in south London. Growing up surrounded by nature has heavily influenced her illustrations and her work often revolves around the natural world and animal kingdom. Lorna draws every day, and always has a sketchbook close to hand when she’s out and about, just in case. She illustrates her work by hand rather than digitally, as she enjoys the spontaneity and also the ‘happy mistakes’ that can happen along the way. Her favourite places to draw are museums and botanical gardens.
