“I decided to do two words for this art dare slimy and ‘patines’ which is skates in Spanish. For the ‘patines’ one I tried to keep it simple and give it a bright and happy mood.

I originally only planned on doing one word for the art dare but I liked my idea for the slimy one so just decided to do it for fun.”

“I decided to dive head first into my first art dare. After a trip to Lisbon this month, I was inspired to do something related to my country. I took inspiration from Portuguese TILES for the colours and design.

I must say that colouring each of the 40 individual little squares was an exercise in patience! In the end, I believe the effect I had in mind was achieved and I’m pretty happy with it!
