Art 366: 357/366: 1986: Challenger Trench Coat: In 1986 the Challenger exploded. I was in 7th grade. My history teacher broke the news and he was such a joker that none of us believed him at first. Then he turned on the TV. It was also when I started wearing a trench coat. #art366 #watercolor #watercolour #mixedmedia #ChickenArt

The year is almost over. Since January 1st I've been creating a daily piece of art. They are 3x3 inches, primarily done with watercolour. I use Beam Paint Stones, a Canadian company based in northern Ontario. Over the summer I started outlining my work with black ink and recently moved from felt pens to a very nice fountain pen. I also sometimes use acrylic paint to add details.

The thread for pieces 1-356 are on my Pussreboots account: https://sfba.social/@pussreboots/113710832181418157 #art366 #DailyArt
