Salt shaker postcard. This one requires a bit of a backstory. When I first started working with my mentor before art school, he used tell me that whenever I hit a block or felt like I had run out of things to draw, that there is always something to draw, and that I should get out of my head and just reach for a salt shaker and draw it. He would insist that there are always salt shakers sitting around in restaurants and cafes, and that the practice of drawing the same common thing over and over again would make something new and spark new ideas. Salt shakers became the symbol of problem solving between he and I, both of us regularly saying “there’s always salt shakers” when things got tough. Ever since I moved away, and for years now, my mentor and I have been mailing each other drawings of salt shakers in our letters, and on our envelopes ever since. 🧂 accessibility: A photo of a watercolor postcard with a drawing of a salt shaker in grey marker and red pencil and black ink. A collection of markers and pencils are scattered about it, as is a salt shaker, and a deck of post cards. #StoryTime #KohINoor #Rapidograph #RapidographPen #PrismacolorPen #PrismacolorMarker #AlcoholMarker #Drawing #Art #ArtistsOfInstagram #ArtInsta #ArtGram #DailyArt #Fabriano @kohinoorusa @prismacolor @fabriano1264 https://www.instagram.com/p/CqYViuQLbpA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
