Create some art that is inspired by this week's prompt. Let your imagination soar. Turn on your creative juices.

All media and styles are welcome (drawing, painting, digital, photography, sculpture, multi-media, representational, abstract, etc.). It can be something done quickly, a finished work of art or anything in between. It can be created from your imagination, from life or a photo reference. If you use a photo reference, please make sure it has no applicable copyright restrictions.

Post your finished (or unfinished) art in this thread. Post any time during the week. The event runs from Friday to Friday. If you're a little late, just post when you are finished.

Tell us a little about the work if you so desire. For example, you could include the medium you used, where you got your inspiration or how long it took. When you post, it's always nice to "like" or comment on posts made earlier in the thread by other artists. We all like acknowledgement of our work!

Let the prompt spark your creativity. The most important thing is to have fun.

If you would like to provide a weekly prompt, sign up here.

Thanks, Anne.

Here's a couple of sketches to get things started. Both are ink and water-soluble graphite.

 

[Schuee]

Excellent, Anne. I hope to draw something tomorrow.

OK! it's official, I'm hooked. Pipes will be another adventure. I might even upscale to better sketchpad

 

[Vivien]

Anne - great drawing for "pipes", I love the shading giving the roundness of the pipes!

 

[laika]

Bong! I'm hookahed on the Weekly Art Event! Gotta come up with an idea now.

Sounds, good, Jennie, Jo - new art materials!

 

[Schuee]

Yes, we must put on our thinking caps!

 

[Vivien]

Ive got something sorted out, just need to get on to painting it.

 

[Vivien]

Here's mine - watercolor - on my Winsor & Newton Watercolor sketchbook

 

[triss]

ams - Great sketches! Love the tone on the first pipe, and fab work drawing all the connectors on the second.

Vivien - Gorgeous colours, great drawing, and a really striking result!

I'm definitely lacking ideas for this one - but looking forward to seeing everyone's work.

 

[Schuee]

Excellent, Viv. It brings to mind old lead pipes! I have minutes of a meeting to deal with and type, bit I hope to get round to drawing this weekend.

 

[ams]

Thanks everyone for your comments on my sketches.

Nicely done Viv. I like the way the paint granulated on this.

I'm definitely lacking ideas for this one - but looking forward to seeing everyone's work.

Triss, here are some ideas to help if you would like to participate. Bagpipes, pipe organ, stove pipe, chimney pipe, smokestack, pipe wrench, pipeline, faucet. You can also just include a pipe in the type of thing you like to paint like a landscape, still life, portrait etc. The prompt is just a starting point that you don't have to take very literally.

Hope this helps.

Everything didn't go as planned. Pic 1 is A4 Derwent pencils. Created from a photo taken many years ago. A series of stacked sewerage pipes.

Other pics are digital edits of the pencil sketch.

 

[ams]

I like what you have done here. This is a very interesting take on the stack of pipes. Your color choices and digital manipulation move it towards the abstract.

Thanks for participating.

 

[Schuee]

very decorative and creative, JennieJo. Well done.

 

[Schuee]

My map-making skills could do with improvement, but this is part of an intercontinental pipeline - one of the longest in the world.

 

[triss]

ams - That's so kind of you to help me out - much appreciated! Don't know why my brain's such a blank this week, but thanks for giving me a kickstart.

JennieJo - Love your creativity! I do like both coloured versions, but the black and white is the winner for me - the contrast gives the shapes an extra punch.

Schuee - I always find maps fascinating, so I love your idea! Beautifully done.

Thank you very much, triss. Maps are fascinating, aren’t they!
